I followed this guide in the docs and not sure if I'm doing this right.
https://docs.kali.org/kali-dojo/03-kali-linux-usb-persistence-encryption

When I reboot and start Kali in Live USB Encrypted Persistence, it'll prompt me for the passphrase of /dev/sdb2 but the partition does not auto mount.

Am I supposed to manually mount the partition by running these commands every time I reboot?
mkdir -p /mnt/my_usb
mount /dev/mapper/sdb2 /mnt/my_usb

Also, does persistence mode allow me to save configuration settings. e.g. If I make an edit to a file in /etc or If I bookmark a website on Firefox, should it save the bookmarks or the file changes? I notice it is not saving.
