[SOLVED] About Debian 11 Live Boot & persistence options: bind or union

[Deleted member 127267]

I am using Debian 11 bullseye live iso in USB. I need persistence mode. But which one? I read there are two options : bind and union. I am asking about it, because in live boot options man page it says that :

"At boot time it will look for a (read-only) medium containing a "/live" directory where a root filesystems (often a compressed filesystem image like squashfs) is stored. If found, it will create a writable environment, using aufs, to boot the system from."

So, for every live boot, boot=live option looks for(or makes I am not sure) read-only partition, can bind option make any changes about its read-only attribute? In other words, can I update kernel by using update-initramfs -u command succesfully without getting

"I: update-initramfs is disabled (live system is running on read-only media)."

error?

you can have a look at this scetion of thread : https://linux.org/threads/usb-linux-boot-ventoy.29944/post-116948

Its about getting persistence for a linux OS on a usb using Ventoy and then at end using Debian 10.9

USB Linux Boot - Ventoy

I have mostly been a sucker for bootable USB Stick. I find they come in handy for fixing partitions, recovering data and even virus scanning. They tend to be very useful for Windows Systems which are not recovering properly, which rarely happens (I am of course kidding). I find that Linux...

maybe you can adapt it for your needs ?

Hi captain , thanks for answer. I have already got persistence by using boot options, I am able to install-remove programs, packages, etc. No problem with persistence. However, my problem is about updating "initramfs"- updating kernel. When I try to update it, it gives error. How can I overcome this repacking kernel problem? I am looking for solution because it prevents me from installing my ATI graphics card driver. As a result ot graphics card installation failre, even I opened mvp player my screen colors all-mixed-up with their negative ones !

Ok I have solved my problem and I could update kernel succesfully using instructions at here : https://hopesknowledge.wordpress.co...load-ati-radeon-hd-4350-graphics-card-driver/.
However maybe someone having the knowledge about the difference between them share her/his knowledge with us and we also understand it more clear in the near future.
