After using a snapshot casper remember in at the end of /etc/casper.conf for resync at halt/reboot time. But this changes are lost b/c the file is not copied.

FIX:

in casper, after line

cp casper.log "${rootmnt}/var/log/"

add this line

cp etc/casper.conf "${rootmnt}/etc/"

Looks sensible, thanks. I added an if [ -f /etc/casper.conf ] guard.

This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.178

---------------
casper (1.178) karmic; urgency=low

  * Ensure that unionfs-fuse isn't killed by /etc/init.d/sendsigs on
    shutdown (LP: #386010).
  * Patches from "phl" (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-leledy), adjusted by
    me, to fix snapshot resync:
    - Avoid using cpio -u -d options if klibc cpio is in use (LP: #384059).
    - Copy /etc/casper.conf into /root, otherwise we forget snapshot resync
      settings (LP: #384061).
    - Adjust the first field of *SNAP entries in casper.conf to be relative
      to /cow, not /root (LP: #384066).
    - Prefix $DEST with $MOUNTP in casper-snapshot (LP: #384068).
    - /etc/init.d/casper is usually called with 'start', so handle that as
      well as 'stop' to do snapshot resyncing and CD ejecting (LP: #384076).
  * Fix casper-snapshot(1) syntax to avoid missing spaces between options
    and their values.
  * Fix showmounts when used in conjunction with unionfs-fuse; read-only
    filesystems need to be bind-mounted rather than move-mounted.
