Title:
  Unable to boot with persistent data enabled

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  As said on "askubuntu" http://askubuntu.com/q/543675/29219 , I was
  unable to boot an usb stick created with usb-creator-gtk with
  persistence data enabled (usb-creator-gtk from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Desktop, target image : Ubuntu 14.04.1 Desktop).

  Here was the looping message when booting, paused a while on the "Scanning disc for index files..." part:
