It seems you didn't test read-only persistence, cause it doesn't work
any more. Let's look at the "Persistent" preset. In the end we'll end up
with running this command:

    mount -t aufs -o
noatime,noxino,dirs=/live/overlay//home/amnesia/Persistent=rw:/live/persistence/sdb2_unlocked/Persistent=rr+wh
aufs /home/amnesia/Persistent


which fails. In dmesg we'll find:

    [...] unsupported filesystem /live/overlay//home/amnesia/Persistent
          (aufs)


I believe this is an upstream bug in aufs: it seems the symlink /live ->
/lib/live messes up its filesystem detection. /live/overlay is really
/lib/live/overlay, which is a tmpfs and thus supported by aufs. But aufs
thinks it has the filesystem of where the /live symlink is stored,
namely the root, which is aufs (aufs-over-aufs nesting isn't supported).
Indeed, if I s@/live/overlay@/lib/live/overlay@ in the mount command
above, it works again.

However, I'm gonna call this a bug in live-boot instead. None of the
persistence code has had the /live to /lib/live move made, and that
would work around this potential aufs bug. And fix another, similar,
path inconsistency bug which I think will affect our dotfiles (i.e.
live-boot's "link" option) persistence preset in read-only mode: some
code use "/live/rootfs" but it has been moved into "/lib/live/mount/rootfs".

I must say I don't understand the /live to /lib/live move in live-boot.
>From what I understand [1], the move is supposed to completely eliminate

/live, but there's still so much stuff going on in /live so I'm not
sure. Do you known what's going on?

[1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2012/10/msg00021.html

I'm gonna think about this a bit more and perhaps ask on the debian-live
mailing list (unless you have all the details) before I take proper
action and hopefully get send a fix upstream tomorrow. Until then, the
attached patch (against live-boot 3.0~b7-1) fixes the issues with
read-only persistence in Tails from my tests (note: I only tested by
patching 9990-overlay.sh in a running Tails session, but I doubt it'll
break the boot part of live-boot since the patch only touches
persistence code).

Looks good!
