Comment 106 for bug 84591

On Hardy I cannot achieve persistence, I follow the tutorial on wiki (LiveUSBPenDrivePersistent) and the Ubuntu starts but finish on a initramfs and as I a novice I have to reboot. AFAIK and reading this looong conversation looks like as someone else downgrade something and the persistent on USB thumb or HD fails in the final release after this guys fixed the persistent problem.

The problem is still there, because on www.pendrivelinux.com for ubuntu gutsy only convert the USB on Live Ubuntu but without persistence, and in some other forums and articles everybody ask about persistence unsuccessfully or we need to edit some files as <a href="http://www.ryancloke.com/ubuntu-804-hardy-heron-live-usb-how-to/"> this link shows </a> (for me it doesn´t work neither) and on somewhere else the line mentioned in the link <strong>mount ${cowdevice} -t ${cow_fstype} -o rw,noatime /cow || panic "Can not mount $cowdevice on /cow"</strong> is treated differently, because the solution from ryan is remove mode=775 and the solution from that site was defining another variable $cow_cowopt=rw,noatime,mode=775 (or 755 I don´t remember) and after the if before that line I have put the persistence before the else (I'm searching again the web page if I found it I put the link) and in the line mentioned by Ryan I have to replace after the -o option for the new variable. In that page explain that the problem isn´t the mode instead something isn't there that avoid that persistence option were taked in account. Of course I did al that but again the initramfs, so no one knows a real solution, or I do doesn't something.

Forgive me if I have some mistakes I'm not english native speaker.
