Switch settings for fastest live usb boot/shutdown

[mmikeinsantarosa]

I've made several live usb's for friends and they much appreciated the OS but they all seem to have the same gripe. Shutdown from the live usb desktop takes quite a bit of time. I've tinkered with the settings during boot for the various persistence & option values but just can't chop off much time. I'd like to be able to do this with a save all but maybe only one of the frugals will do this.

For a save all persistence, are there known values to use for fastest boot and shutdown times?

thanks - mike

the static persistence options will shutdown faster than the non-static ones, as there is a rsync operation at shutdown otherwise.

other than that I got nothing.

Create a launcher with this command:

Code: Select all

pkexec /usr/bin/persist-save

So that persist-save can be done manually before shutdown, and within 60 seconds a following shutdown
would not try to perform any persist-save. And even after 60 seconds, any changes detected by rsync
are minimal and require often less then a second to get performed.
At least it would show the shutdown is fast, but the persist-save might just take longer.

That is the ticket DO . Much quicker than anything I tired.
