Bug Description

Binary package hint: casper

I followed the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent to setup Hardy on a USB drive, setting up a loopback file for casper-rw and formatting the partition as fat32. When I tried adding a home-rw loopback file on the same partition, casper would not mount it on boot. If casper-rw and home-rw are on separate partitions, then home-rw is mounted successfully.

Hi, I wondered if bug #346941 might be the cause of your problem - Colin Watson's uploaded a fix, so I guess you should be able to test with the RC when it comes out ..
