Hi guys, I created an Ubuntu Live USB using the latest Ubuntu version which is 15.10, however, the Persistence size is only limited to 4gb. I wanted to create a larger Persistence file and did checked and followed exactly the instructions on the following link:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/397481/how-to-make-a-persistent-live-ubuntu-usb-with-more-than-4gb

and also tried other instructions on another site which is similar:

http://www.pendrivelinux.com/create-a-larger-than-4gb-casper-partition/

Basically, to create a larger Persistence file beyond 4gb you need to remove the existing casper-rw partition and create a new partition and resize it to whatever partition size you want beyond 4gb and rename it as casper-rw again.

However, after I have done the instructions and then tried to boot the Live USB it doesn't boot. Is creating a larger persistence file not supported anymore or is there something missing with the instructions?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
