.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
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\fR=\fITYPE1\fR,\fITYPE2\fR ... \fITYPEn\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
