The Ubuntu persistence (file system space that is reserved accross reboots) is limited to 9,999MB, yet 16, 32 and even 64GB flash drives are not uncommon.

Put a nice empty 32Gb flash drive into my PC.

Point out location of ISO image I want to play with ( Ubuntu 12.10 beta) try and reserve a goodly amount of persistence for playing around with, and I'm limited to 9,999MB.

It will, however, gladly, eventually, make the 9,999MB persistence file on the flash drive.

So it's less a bug and more of an annoyance. :)

Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

Version 608 has that limitation as well. Fat32 is limited to 4096MB of maximum filesize but i would like to use my NTFS partitioned 32GB usb flash drive to boot debian systems and have more than 4GB of "fun space". Please rise limit to at least 100GB and add option to skip partitioning
