Hello everyone, hope you are all doing well in these odd times.
I'm having trouble setting up persistence on my usb:
I installed Kali linux onto my 64gb usb, I partitioned 20gb for kali linux and the rest for persistence named "persistence" as ext4.
The commands I inputted into the Terminal:
fdisk -l
mkdir -p /mnt/portable/
mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/portable
Returns:
FUSE exfat 1.3.0
WARN: volume was not unmounted cleanly.
echo "/ union > /mnt/portable/persistence.conf
I went onto the desktop after this command, clicked the "places" tab, clicked 41GB VOLUME (no idea why it isn't called persistence) and double clicked persistence.conf
Back in the Terminal:
umount /dev/sdb2 && reboot
Rebooted Kali linux and none of the temporary folders are saved so clearly persistence failed.
Checked and read the Kali linux installation guide and typed in the terminal:
mkfs.ext3 -L persistence /dev/sdb2 (not sdb3).
This pops up:
/dev/sdb2 contains a exfat file system
Proceed anyway? (y,N)
I press y and continue and this pops up:
/dev/sdb2 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
What am I doing wrong? I've been following many youtube videos which are all similar except some create the persistence within Kali linux.
Any help would be appreciated thank you.
