\r
320 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
321 <p>live-snapshot is a script which can be used to build the right types of
\r
322 persistent image files supported by live-initramfs(7). It is also used on
\r
323 exit by the live-initramfs init script to resync the boot-found snapshots
\r
327 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
330 -c, —cow <strong>DIRECTORY</strong>
\r
334 specifies the input directory to be cloned in the image file. Its default value
\r
335 "/live/cow" should be right for most uses. However it could be handy to specify
\r
336 "/home" and type ext2 for the type to prepare an image file suited to be
\r
337 directly mounted by live-initramfs as home.
\r
341 -d, —device <strong>DEVICE</strong>
\r
345 sets the device where the media which the snapshot/persistence file/partition
\r
346 will be put. If it is not specified, a tmpfs will be used and linked to the
\r
347 user's desktop to move it where it is needed. If the device has no filesystem,
\r
348 an ext2 fs will be automatically created and labelled according to the values
\r
349 specified after the "—output" value or with a sane default.
\r
353 -e, —exclude-list <strong>FILE</strong>
\r
357 a file containing a list of filenames/paths that should not be saved. This exclude list will be remebered on the target snapshot media for reuse.
\r
361 -o, —output <strong>FILE</strong>
\r
365 the filename/label used for the output file/partition. If left blank, live-snapshot will search for a proper file on the device or use the whole partition.
\r
369 -r, —resync-string <strong>STRING</strong>
\r
373 internally used on resyncs.
\r
381 try to do the same operation that should be done at reboot or halt, resyncing
\r
382 boot-time auto discovered snapshots. Useful to prevent a crash or surge
\r
387 -t, —type <strong>TYPE</strong>
\r
391 Type could be one of "cpio", "squashfs", "ext2", "ext3" or "jffs2".
\r
399 display help and exit
\r
407 show usage and exit

426 <p>This optional file, if present changes the behaviour of live-snapshot, only files and directories listed there are included (integrally) in the snapshot.
\r
