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 -- 2.1.4
