Creating a 'save' file question
Creating a 'save' file question
Is it possible to create a 'save' file without actually going through the shutdown process?

Assuming you want the pupsave on hda1 and that hda1 is mounted
this makes you an empty 50MB pupsave which should be used automatically on your next boot
Code: Select all
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/hda1/pup_save.2fs bs=1k count=50000
mke2fs -q -m 0 -F /mnt/hda1/pup_save.2fs

You could do as trapster says and then copy the contents of pup_rw to it.
This answers 'how to create a save file'
But mounting on the fly is something else.
So you would boot with a pfix=ram state and once booted mount that save file?
It should be mounted on /initrd/pup_rw then, if ever possible.
