Out of curiosity, I duplicated your procedure, but used FAT32 Format ( FAT32 Formatter didn't work for me) and chose 2000MB as persistent space. Mint has been developing their own desktop (in the form of Cinnamon). In contrast, Linux Mint is way down on the list as far as developing and maintaining their own distro, by using Ubuntu packages and repositories for the most part, which are based on Debian Unstable packages and repositories.

But, at least they do try to debug the debian unstable packages, recompile them, and maintain their own software repositories for those packages. Of course, i think that Ubuntu is mostly a Debian rip-off, by taking snapshots of Debian Unstable, then modifying the packages for each new Ubuntu release. But, in the interest of maintaining peace, they dropped it. That s something that Ubuntu developers have complained about in the past. IOW, they want to be more popular than Ubunutu, using technique like including codecs to decode proprietary formats by default, while still taking advantage of Ubuntu sources for updates and binaries so that they do not need to incur the costs of recompiling packages from source, and costs for servers and disk space needed to host those packages. But the same techniques for using persistence should apply to it, as it's mostly an Ubuntu rip-off with proprietary codecs and desktop UI installed, while still using Ubuntu repos and binaries without recompiling the software packages themselves. Have you checked to see if unetbootin created a file named casper-rw in the root of a FAT32 formatted partition on the USB Flash drive? Or, if not, have you checked to see if an ext2 partition named casper-rw exists?Įither technique should work (USB flash drive formatted as FAT32 with a zero filled file named casper-rw in the root, or a separate partition named casper-rw that us setup as ext2 that is also zero filled to start with.Īre you sure you are using a current version of unetbootin, and sure that the flash drive was formatted as FAT32 when using it to setup a USB flash drive to boot into Linux Mint? If it was not formatted as FAT32, that could explain your issues.Īgain, I do not use Linux Mint for anything, and have not even installed it for others in years. Here is one of many articles about using that technique with Mint: See one of many articles about that file here:īut, instead of using a file named named casper-rw, an ext2 formatted partition named the same way (casper-rw) can also be used for persistence with Ubuntu based distros. That is what should have occurred using a utility like Unetbootin if you selected an ubuntu based distro, and checked the box to use persistence, and set the space to be used for persistence (a file named casper-rw should have been created in the root of the FAT32 file system being created).ĭo you see a file named casper-rw in the root on that FAT32 flash drive?Ĭasper-rw should be a zero filled file that Ubuntu based live distros mount and use as a loop device for persistence purposes.
Note that this is not a file named casper that is flagged with read/write permissions. But, Ubuntu (and official derivatives of it like Kubuntu and others) will look for a zero filled file named casper-rw,in the root of a USB flash drive formatted as FAT32.

Although many of them say read-write, in particular /cow where /home resides, there was no persistence after reboot.

The Distribution selections go up to 17.2_Live_圆4 only, so I selected Diskimage instead and used a local ISO for Linux Mint 17.3 圆4. I want persistent space, so I selected 2GB (2048MB) in the "Space used to preserve files across reboots, Ubuntu only" widget.

(FAT32 goes up to 2TB with default sector size, but Windows 7 refuses to create a FAT32 partition larger than 32GB.) After downloading Fat32 Formatter (highly recommended!) and reformatting a 64GB USB drive from exFAT to FAT32, I was able to run UNetbootin to create a bootable image from Linux Mint ISO on the USB drive.
