complete persistent system
« on: February 23, 2012, 08:23:58 AM »
Hello,

I have installed a TC system, and i'm quite happy about it except for a few things. One of those are how to make the system persistent.
I want that every change i make, is saved.

Now, i have a backup file, but this takes a long time to startup of poweroff.

Is it possible that every change is save automatically and not via the backup function? (and not only /home, ...)

tx.

Hi koenh
What you are looking for has been referred to as  scatter mode  and is generally frowned upon and not done.
As a result, you may not receive much help for that kind of installation. If you have not already done so, my
first suggestion is to set up a persistent  /home  as that can often account for a lot of the time taken to boot
and shut down. When you do that, be sure to remove all references to  home  from your  /etc/.filetool.list
file, note the period between the / and f.

depending on applications, next to /home is /var or parts of /var

I've never heard of anyone backing up or wanting to make /var persistent, but then again, I'm no expert either.

For example a mail server usually keeps mails in /var/mail Just one example.
