Hi jjreina
To make  jamvm  persistent, just add

Code: [Select]

usr/local/jamvmto  /opt/.filetool.lst. If  jamvm  keeps any configuration files outside of that directory, you will have to
add those too. For example, if there is a  jamvm.conf  in  /usr/local/etc, then you would add
usr/local/etc/jamvm.conf  to  /opt/.filetool.lst.
Remove opt=da1 and home=sda1 from /opt/.filetool.lst.

Quote

mene.lst in /mnt/sda1/boot/grup/

You meant  menu.lst in /mnt/sda1/boot/grub/

Quote

opt=da1

You meant  opt=sda1
Before you try adding a persistent  /home  and  /opt,  fix your  /opt/.filetool.lst  and see if you can get
you system to boot again.

Hi jjreina
I've never used  GRUB2  it seems that the file is now called  grub.cfg  and you have to create it
yourself. Open  AppBrowser and read the  Info  tab for  Grub2.tcz, it has instructions.

Hi jjreina
Since your  home  and  opt  directories are persistent, remove any lines that start with  home  or  opt
from your  .filetool.lst  file. Add whatever other changes you need to  .filetool.lst  and then run a
backup prior to restarting.

Thanks Rich, if i reboot with backup option (tce/sda1) the changes are persistences but if i typed sudo reboot the changes not persistences.

Thanks

Hi jjreina
Your  /opt  and  /home  directories are already persistent and should NOT be included in  .filetool.lst.
Change your  .filetool.lst  to look like this:

Code: [Select]

usr/local/jamvm
usr/local/classpathThen run a  backup  and you should be fine.

Hi jjreina
Just as a follow up, if you run  sudo reboot,  it does NOT automatically run a  backup. As a result, when
your machine reboots, it will restore what was previously saved in your backup.
Here is an example of what is happening to you:
1. You modify your .filetool.lst
2. You add FILE1 to your /home/tc directory
3. You remove FILE2 from your /home/tc directory
4. You run  sudo reboot
5. Because you have  opt/.filetool.lst  and  home  listed in  .filetool.lst
    A. Your old .filetool.lst is restored
    B. FILE1 is missing from your /home/tc directory
    C. FILE2 is back in your /home/tc directory

Thanks Rich,

My reply number 12 is often of to modify .filetool to only

Code: [Select]

usr/local/jamvm
usr/local/classpath
I have removed home, /opt, .filetool.lst ... all

Thanks
