waxhell: If I'm using persistent mode (home or root type) with the iso contents as well as the persistent fs on a USB key, I get block devices errors on the USB key on shutdown, the persistent fs isn't unmounted cleanly, and sometimes some files seem to get corrupted, particularly files that are likely to be open continuously during the session (e.g. ICEauthority) or immediately prior to shutdown (settings files.)

Booting from a CDROM (and still using the USB key for the persistent fs) seems to work OK (at least for home mode - root mode doesn't wait long enough for the USB key to settle before deciding there's no persistent fs to union mount.)

I need to look into the shutdown scripts more closely, I think.
