Well can you help me with that i have heard you have to type some commands in the terminal any idea what those are would help a lot as for the ext4 i would prefer to keep it windows readable and it would not heart if i learnt something along the way......Bogomips wrote:Been a while since I used persistence, but if my memory serves me correctly, you need to find out the size of the image in the save,dat file.
Been there done that but it mounts it does not tells the exact amount of data used also i was thinking of asking this in another thread it seems i can use the mloop command to read iso file,dat file which have been used as magic folder but it seems that i can not use this for the persistant sav.dat file it comes up empty for some reason and but i know there are settings saved in itdonald wrote:@ anandisrocking007
as root:
mloop /path/savefile.dat
Filemanager > /mnt/loop
I don't know if one can do this when the savefile is in use.
(I don't have one)
when finished type uloop
I understand. Been there, done that.

You should see what you're seeking.
Thanks a lot in telling me that you can only loop the save.dat file in freshor copy2ram mode i thought i was doing something wrong they should add this line in the the porteus tutorial. But the df -h /mnt/live/memory/changes/ does not show the value i think it shows the amount of memory used in ram or sodonald wrote:@ anandisrocking007
sorry,my bad
you have to reboot into the "allways fresh" mode to make it work.(mloop the save.dat)
hmm..doesn't a df -h /mnt/live/memory/changes/
(normal boot) show the save file values.?
Nope thats not it checked it Ed_P 's script gives the right valueBogomips wrote:cpy2ram and not using changes, Get same values.Code: Select all
