Tip: if you make the live-boot a size like 10Gb (10240Mb) it will be easier to find if required during the re-install process when the list of partitions are shown. Label the partition NAME_OF_LIVE.iso to make it easier to find and reference, and it is a requirement of the Live boot method used. The label for this partition requires to be the name of the Live.iso (eg:Mageia-8-Live-Plasma-x86_64) and this is too many characters for an ext2/3/4 type partition filesystem, hence btrfs. The reason of having capacity for two live images is that we require to use 1 Live.iso and also the extracted contents of same.

Ideally, /mnt/live-boot partition should be large enough for two full Live images which is about 10gb. Should the Live-booted system be required to reinstall a failed system due to it being damaged beyond repair, this partition must be on a different internal storage device than the main system, ie sdb1. Use diskdrake to create a new btrfs partition mounted at /mnt/live-boot on your disk drive. Preparation Step-1: Create local disk filesystem partition /mnt/live-boot

Download and verify a Mageia Live ISO file.Create a partition /mnt/live-boot for storing the live ISO files.

As this is a Live system, and the "Install onto Disk" icon is active, install or re-install is able to be completed with no special commands. If the Live System in booted from hardware that has 2 or more internal storage device, planning is required prior such that the Live installer is able to install or re-install the system, should it be required to do so. Thirdly, post boot, the Live system can be used recover and save to external devices important documents and files that are unable to be accessed from a damaged and unbootable system and can also be used to repair an unbootable installed system, typically by "chroot"ing into the damaged system. Secondly, it is a method of booting a Live system limited only by disk speed and hardware.

Recommendation: trial first using Virtual Box!įirstly, no Live boot media is needed: not DVD nor USB. A copy of Mageia Live ISO file in /mnt/live-boot.A separate disk filesystem partition /mnt/live-boot.Boot system set for Legacy/BIOS or UEFI.The method described here depends on having:
