![]() The only thing that changes of course is the I/O channel that provides low level access, but I didn't change much of it either, so it's really disappointing to go out of your way to use the official tools, and see them have such sluggish performance as soon as you move out of their preferred platform. ext3 formatting performance is rather slow (compared to doing it from Linux) even though I made sure to use the exact same formatting library as the one that's used on Linux ( lib/ext2fs from e2fsprogs's) and left the sources pretty much unmodified. ![]() So, I'd rather have Ubuntu fix this very disappointing issue before I start to look into adding persistence to conf files, and end up with a bunch of Ubuntu users complaining that their media cannot complete boot. First of all, that's because it's a bit tricky to do (for instance Ubuntu has multiple kernel entries, and we're only want to do it for the 'Live' one) and second, it's because currently Ubuntu has a MAJOR BUG that will result in init failing with the messages (initramfs) mount: mounting /cow on /root failed: Invalid argument/ overlay mount failed (yes, we tried moving the casper-rw partition before the main partition, and, no, I'm not going to add a 3rd EFI partition when creating Ubuntu drives just to work around a BUG that should have been fixed years ago!).
