My savefile doesn't work.

[Cayman1945]

I followed savefile manager tutorial and putted UUID of my USB in porteus.cfg because I realised that after reboot my USB name changes from sdc to sdg etc. but it still doesn't work and shows I have to create savefile. My USB is formated with NTFS.
Thanks for time and help.

Try with:
changes=UUID:STrING-0F-ChARACtERS/path/savefile.dat

You can find UUID with:

Code: Select all

su
blkid | grep -A1 "dev/sd"

My USB is formated with NTFS.

Not a good format for USB drives. exFat is better, less overhead, faster response and supports large files.

I am truly surprised. With the journalling ntfs adds to the drive there is overhead which takes resources and time to maintain.

That's an interesting comparison indeed. Exfat must be kernel and not FUSE by now? So should be fast, and faster than ntfs-3g? We're currently testing the NTFS3 Kernel Module which should improve your comparison even further in favor of NTFS
