[Bug 313566] Re: Support for fat32 for casper-rw partition type

[Stéphane Graber]

It's not possible to use vfat as the backend for overlayfs as it's not a posix compatible file system.
For this specifc bug, I'd suggest you just use another partition and mount it as /home/ubuntu/Documents.

Title:
  Support for fat32 for casper-rw partition type

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: casper

  I hope to see support for vfat/fat32 for the casper-rw partition (now
  just->Type could be one of "cpio", "squashfs" or "ext2".)

  I'm working in making an Ubuntu usb live persistent system. In this
  dongle we have also windows free software (like firefox) and we want
  to share data from casper-rw partition between live ubuntu user and
  windows softwares (bookmarks->firefox, mail->thunderbird etc.)
