How to mount persistent storage

[limaunion]

Hi all! I've a live USB that is not booting because I've updated its kernel and there're missing modules dependencies, but previously I created a copy of vmlinuz0 to the persistent storage while running the live USB media.

Now I want to mount the persistent overlay storage file in another linux machine in order to rollback to the previous kernel.

I'm seeing the following files:

/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-disk
/LiveOS/osmin.img
/LiveOS/overlay-KINGSTON-######
/LiveOS/squashfs.img

Which file should I mount and how? in order to have access to the persistent overlay storage.
TIA!

Well, I finally solved this issue by creating a new live USB and replacing vmlinuz0 since I didn't want to lose the customization. Anyway I'd like to know if it's possible to mount the overlay file from another linux machine.

Hi everyone,

I too need to read the content of the "persistent overlay" file of my usb live Fedora 11 system.
I think it has reached its limit in size and now I can't boot or do anything anymore.

Since it was usb, I was sure I would be able to retrieve my files easily in any other os if anything went wrong with the system.
It's not the case. I hadn't realized that all my files were stored in some mysterious "overlay-PATRIOT-4895-78F9" 4 GO file.

I have approximatively a month of work that is stored on this file.

I think they must be a way to retrieve my important files (at least those in /home/liveuser) but how to do this ?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all of you.

Hi Guys, did anyone figure out how to recover information from the (I guess full) overlay?

Thanks,
