[SOLVED] persistence difficulty

Thumbs Up

And you can use F5 debug to check the ventoy.json if you have problem with persistence.
I have had a go with release 1.0.13 F5 debug was a great help . I think the reason it wasn't working was because of confusion on directories and what goes where:

this is the directory of a working system of my usb when mounted at : /run/media/andrew/ventoy/
ventoy
├── ISO
│   └── linuxmint-19.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso
├── persistence.img
└── ventoy
    └── ventoy.json



the first thing to note is the confusion between formated partitions with partition one being called "ventoy" and a subfolder also called "ventoy" which hold the ventoy.json . By playing around with directories and using debug i found that ventoy.json is not picked up unless in a directory called "ventoy"  which is in 1st partition. I've installed an arbitary package "medit" shut down and re-booted. Persistence works and medit was still there .


My working ventoy.json:


{
   
   
    "control": [
        { "VTOY_DEFAULT_MENU_MODE": "0" },
        { "VTOY_FILT_DOT_UNDERSCORE_FILE": "1" },
        { "VTOY_DEFAULT_SEARCH_ROOT": "/ISO" }
    ],

  
   
     "persistence": [
        {
           "image": "/ISO/linuxmint-19.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso",
            "backend": "/persistence.img"
        }
    ]
   

   
}




[ps how come i have a rating of minus -1 after going to trouble of posting etc ?   can't see how to mark solved ]
