Re: Umount a Persistent KNOPPIX Disk Image in use



It looks to me like what may work for you would be to add a larger disk-based layer on top of the current unionfs...

I.e.:
mount /dev/hda9 /bigbertha
mkdir /bigbertha/union
unionctl /UNIONFS --add /bigbertha/union
unionctl /UNIONFS --mode /ramdisk ro

# (( the ro change is to force unionfs to put new files in /bigbertha/union instead of /ramdisk ))

apt-get ..... (or whatever)

----------------------
The nice thing about this approach is that -- once you've done it, you can simply reattach /bigbertha/union to unionfs instead of having to go through

Hi,

Thank you Klaus for your answer.

I like to use symlinks instead, because you can point a symlink to a new
location without unmounting anything. This is being done in
knoppix-image when the persistent image is joined with the rest.
I'm using symlinks too, for e-mail directory.

I have tested installing yakuake from sid repository on 5.0 from Cebit, It requires to upgrade libc6 which is not good to do with PDI:
I say yes ... bad answer  :)

To conclude a PDI of 240Mo is not enough for me and I should not upgrade libc6.
