I made an Ubuntu Live USB Stick with the LinuxUSBDownload installer. The installer works great and also the well known issue of not unmounting the casper-rw at shutdown is fixed. :D
The problem now is that I have 3 partitions on my USB drive. One partition is an ext4 partition on which my personal data should be stored. I would like to have this mounted on boot, so I added these lines to fstab:
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_Ultimate_G2_0018F30C9F8ABC6081AD0090-0:0-part5 /mnt/home2 ext4 defaults 0 2
When saved mount /mnt/home2 works fine but after reboot fstab is restored to this default values:
overlayfs / overlayfs rw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
Because of that my ext4 partition couldn't be mounted on boot. Now I thought of adding a
mount -t ext4 -o defaults /dev/disk/by-id/usb-Kingston_DT_Ultimate_G2_0018F30C9F8ABC6081AD0090-0:0-part5 /mnt/home2
to my /etc/init.d/rc.local
But isn't there a better way to do that with fstab?
