Hi,

some weeks ago a bug has been filled against bilibop [1]. There is also
a redmine ticket [2] about the same issue. Support for overlay
filesystem is now ready to use in bilibop-common (and bilibop-udev).
This is for the good news :)

Unfortunately, bilibop-lockfs needs more work and tests, and is not
ready for a new release. This means that there will not be a new bilibop
package in debian repositories in the next (two) weeks.

That said, if you want to try the attached file...

* Quick test for the impatient:
1. Run Tails on USB with root password enabled
2. Plug a second USB stick in the computer (for best comparison;
optional)
3. Test the current state with:
$ /lib/bilibop/disk
$ ls -l /dev/sd*
4. Copy the attached "common.sh" in /lib/bilibop/ (take care of the
permissions, mode should be 644), and then:
$ /lib/bilibop/disk
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure bilibop-udev
$ ls -l /dev/sd*

* Proof test:
Include the new common.sh in the right place to overwrite the original
one during the Tails build process, and run.

In the case you need a debian package quickly, feel free to say me, and
I will upload it on mentors.debian.org, targetting the 'experimental' suite.

Cheers,
quidame
