This part I got, as Zooko made it clear a while ago on the ticket.
Thanks for explaining anyway :)
When I'm talking of persistence in my last email, it was about making
the Tahoe-LAFS configuration persistent, *not* about using Tahoe-LAFS
to host the persistent volume.

Looks good. Still, will need to persist the Tahoe-LAFS configuration.
Hence my proposal.

Have you actually tried installing Tahoe-LAFS on Tails, in a way that
it's re-installed automatically on every boot, and you don't have to
reconfigure it every time you start Tails? If you haven't, please do.
I suspect this will make my previous email much clearer :)
