.SH NAME
\fBlive\-boot\fR \- System Boot Scripts
.IP "\fBswapon\fR" 4
This parameter enables usage of local swap partitions.
.IP "\fBpersistent\fR" 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.
+live\-boot will probe filesystems for persistent media. These can either be the filesystems themselves, if labeled correctly, or image/archive files, if named correctly. Overlays are labeled/named either "live\-rw" or "home\-rw" and will be mounted on / or /home, respectively; snapshots are labeled/named either "live\-sn" or "home\-sn" and will be extracted into / or /home, respectively (see live\-snapshot(1) for more information). Overlays are mounted before snapshots are extracted, and for both overlays and snapshots, "live\-*" are handled before "home\-*". Overlay image files and snapshot archive files have extensions which determines their filesystem or archive type, e.g. "live\-rw.ext3" and "\home\-sn.squashfs".
.IP "\fBpersistent\-encryption\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\fR" 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\fR={\fIremovable\fR|\fIremovable\-usb\fR}" 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\fR=\fIPATH\fR" 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\fR" 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\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\fR" 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\fR=\fISUFFIX\fR" 4
