#    For persistence: (File Name=parrot-rw,  Volume Name=persistence)  <<< NOT casper-rw !!!!!!
# 1. Click 'Create ext2/3/4 fs' in RMPrepUSB
# 2. Set the FILENAME to parrot-rw
# 3. Set the VOLUME LABEL to persistence  <------ VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT CHANGE
# 4. Set amount of space you would like allowed to persist
# 5. Choose ext4

# The persistent 'volume' needs the persistence.conf file in it!
# Boot to parrot first boot menu option (do NOT use the parrot Encrypted Persistence menu entry!) 
# and then type following 5 lines to enable persistence - then reboot
#    su  (password=toor)
#    mkdir -p /mnt/usb
#    ls /dev/                           (to see which is the USB device - normally sdb - or use df command)
#    mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/usb           (will always be sdx3 for 3rd partition)
#    echo "/ union" > /mnt/usb/persistence.conf
#    umount /mnt/usb
#
# Now reboot and use Persistence menu entry

# OR...
# FOR LUKS Encryption use (replace /dev/sdb3 with USB drive name - always ends in 3)
#    su  (password=toor)
#    cryptsetup --verbose --verify-passphrase luksFormat /dev/sdb3
#    cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb3 my_usb
#    mkfs.ext3 -L persistence /dev/mapper/my_usb
#    e2label /dev/mapper/my_usb persistence
#    mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb
#    mount /dev/mapper/my_usb /mnt/my_usb
#    echo "/ union" > /mnt/my_usb/persistence.conf
#    umount /dev/mapper/my_usb
#    cryptsetup luksClose /dev/mapper/my_usb
#
# Now reboot and choose Live Mode with Encrypted Persistence menu entry if LUKS used (use passphrase to unlock)
