I tried persistence in the 6.10 version and I think there are problems there too although much less than in 7.10.

When the 6.10 version is shutting down, I would see I/O errors to the USB device. I ran fsck on the casper partition and it did find a number of errors. Most notably, mtab had errors which is the same file that I saw get stuffed into the sudoers file when 7.10 got corrupted. The degree of corruption was dramatically less in 6.10 than in 7.10 and I seem to be able to reboot after the fsck and have things work; the level of damage appears less but looks to still be there. I don't think this bug was introduced in 7.10, it just looks to be worse in 7.10.
