+\fBlive\-boot\fP \- System Boot Scripts
-.SH BESCHREIBUNG
-\fBlive\-config\fP enthaelt die Skripte welche ein Debian Live System waehrend
-des Startvorganes (early userspace) konfigurieren.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBlive\-boot\fP contains the scripts that configure a Debian Live system during
+the boot process (early userspace).
.PP
.\" FIXME
live\-boot is a hook for the initramfs\-tools, used to generate a initramfs
squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using
aufs, for Debian like systems to boot from.
-.SH KONFIGURATION
-\fBlive\-boot\fP kann durch Boot Parameter oder durch Konfigurationsdateien
-konfiguriert werden.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+\fBlive\-boot\fP can be configured through a boot parameter or a configuration
+file.
+.PP
+To configure the live\-boot parameters used by default in a live image, see
+the \-\-bootappend\-live option in the \fIlb_config\fP(1) manual page.
-.SS "Kernel Parameter"
-\fBlive\-boot\fP ist nur dann aktiv, wenn 'boot=live' als Kernel Parameter
-benutzt wird.
+.SS "Kernel Parameters"
+\fBlive\-boot\fP is only activated if 'boot=live' was used as a kernel
+parameter.
.PP
In addition, there are some more boot parameters to influence the behaviour,
see below.
-.SS Konfigurationsdateien
+.SS "Configuration Files"
\fBlive\-boot\fP can be configured (but not activated) through configuration
files. Those files can be placed either in the root filesystem itself
-(/etc/live/boot.conf, /etc/live/boot.d/), or on the live media
-(live/boot.conf, live/boot.d/).
+(/etc/live/boot.conf, /etc/live/boot.d/*.conf), or on the live media
+(live/boot.conf, live/boot.d/*.conf).
-.SH OPTIONEN
+.SH OPTIONS
.\" FIXME
\fBlive\-boot\fP currently features the following parameters.
.IP \fBaccess\fP=\fIACCESS\fP 4
option has no currently no effect when booting with toram.
.IP \fBswapon\fP 4
This parameter enables usage of local swap partitions.
-.IP \fBpersistent\fP[={nofiles|cryptsetup}] 4
-live\-boot will look for persistent and snapshot partitions or files labeled
-"live\-rw", "home\-rw", and files called "live\-sn*", "home\-sn*" and will try
-to, in order: mount as /cow the first, mount the second in /home, and just
-copy the contents of the latter in appropriate locations
-(snapshots). Snapshots will be tried to be updated on reboot/shutdown. Look
-at live\-snapshot(1) for more informations.
-.br
-If "nofiles" is specified, only filesystems with matching labels will be
-searched; no filesystems will be traversed looking for archives or image
-files. This results in shorter boot times.
-.br
-If "cryptsetup" is specified, filesystems stored on Luks\-encrypted devices
-will be considered as well as others when searching for a persistence
-filesystem; the user will be prompted for any needed decryption passphrase.
+.IP \fBpersistent\fP 4
+live\-boot will probe devices for persistent media. These can be partitions
+(with the correct GPT name), filesystems (with the correct label) or
+image/archive files (with the correct file name). Overlays are labeled/named
+either "full\-ov", which will be mounted on /, or "custom\-ov", which can be
+completely customized (see \fIlive.persist\fP(5)); snapshots are labeled/named
+either "live\-sn" or "home\-sn" and will be extracted into / or /home,
+respectively (see \fIlive\-snapshot\fP(1) for more information). The order these
+are handled are: full\-ov, custom\-ov, live\-sn, home\-sn. Overlay image files
+and snapshot archive files have extensions which determines their filesystem
+or archive type, e.g. "custom\-ov.ext4" and "\home\-sn.squashfs".
+.IP "\fBpersistent\-encryption\fP=\fITYPE1\fP,\fITYPE2\fP ... \fITYPEn\fP" 4
+This option determines which types of encryption that we allow to be used
+when probing devices for persistent media. If "none" is in the list, we
+allow unencrypted media; if "luks" is in the list, we allow LUKS\-encrypted
+media. Whenever a device containing encrypted media is probed the user will
+be prompted for the passphrase. The default value is "none".
+.IP \fBpersistent\-media\fP={\fIremovable\fP|\fIremovable\-usb\fP} 4
+If you specify the keyword 'removable', live\-boot will try to find
+persistent and snapshot partitions on removable media only. Note that if you
+want to further restrict the media to usb mass storage only, you can use the
+\&'removable\-usb' keyword.
+.IP "\fBpersistent\-method\fP=\fITYPE1\fP,\fITYPE2\fP ... \fITYPEn\fP" 4
+This option determines which types of persistent media we allow. If
+"overlay" is in the list, we consider overlays (i.e. "live\-rw" and
+"home\-rw"); if "snapshot" is in the list, we consider snapshots
+(i.e. "live\-sn" and "home\-sn"). The default is "overlay,snapshot".
.IP \fBpersistent\-path\fP=\fIPATH\fP 4
live\-boot will look for persistency files in the root directory of a
partition, with this parameter, the path can be configured so that you can
have multiple directories on the same partition to store persistency files.
+.IP \fBpersistent\-read\-only\fP 4
+Filesystem changes are not saved back to persistent media. In particular,
+overlays and netboot NFS mounts are mounted read\-only, and snapshots are not
+resynced on shutdown.
+.IP "\fBpersistent\-storage\fP=\fITYPE1\fP,\fITYPE2\fP ... \fITYPEn\fP" 4
+This option determines which types of persistent storage to consider when
+probing for persistent media. If "filesystem" is in the list, filesystems
+with matching labels will be used; if "file" is in the list, all filesystems
+will be probed for archives and image files with matching filenames. The
+default is "file,filesystem".
.IP \fBpersistent\-subtext\fP=\fISUFFIX\fP 4
Add a suffix when searching for the image filenames or partition labels to
use for the above mentioned persistent feature, the SUFFIX will be added
after a dash (e.g.: "live\-sn" would transform to "live\-sn\-SUFFIX"). This is
handy to test multiple live\-boot based live\-systems with different
persistent storage choices.
-.IP {\fBpreseed/file\fP|\fBfile\fP}=\fIFILE\fP 4
-A path to a file present on the rootfs could be used to preseed debconf
-database.
-.IP \fBpackage/question\fP=\fIVALUE\fP 4
-All debian installed packages could be preseeded from command\-line that way,
-beware of blanks spaces, they will interfere with parsing, use a preseed
-file in this case.
.IP \fBquickreboot\fP 4
This option causes live\-boot to reboot without attempting to eject the media
and without asking the user to remove the boot media.
regenerated each time. This is achieved by bind mounting each listed
directory with a tmpfs on the original path.
