Subject: [Tails-dev] About your persistent volume
I was browsing a forum and one poster there had a really good idea. I
can't find it again, but I thought it was good enough to email you folks
about it.

His issue with the persistent volume is when booting up tails, if you have
a persistent volume set up, tails will ask you if you want to use it or
not. If there is no persistent volume set up, the promt will not be there.
This could be problematic. Say someone (government, boss at work, ex
girlfriend, etc.) obtains your tails usb stick with a persistent volume.
As things are now, if they booted it, they would absolutely know that
there is a persistent volume.

His solution was to have the prompt always be there, if there was a
persistent volume or not. Since it always asks, you could more easily deny
that there is a persistent volume and better protect the data stored on
it.
