– Label it “casper-rw” (exactly this name) – Set the File system to ext4 (ext4 is best because of read/write cycles) – Set the size of the partition to what you desire (probably at least 2GB) – Right click on the (grey) unallocted space and select “New” – Select your Ubuntu drive in the right-upper-corner

– Open Gparted again (if it isn’t still running) So we need to add an casper-rw partition. – and anything saved in the home folder (Documents, Downloads, Desktop, etc.) – changes/updates made to the operating system In persistent mode the partition labeled “casper-rw” is by default used to save any changes: This part you can do when booted from your new external Ubuntu drive! But if you like doing things the hard way, I will make this even more pleasant for you by not helping you in any way possible. Probably there’s a masochistic way to do all of this with the terminal.

from 12.04 to 12.10) or update the kernel, the upgrade-application writes files to the boot partition. I do not recommend this but when you upgrade to another Ubuntu version (e.g. Since Rufus turns your drive into one big partition, we are going to resize this (also we need space for the “casper-rw” partition we create in the next step) Why 1GB although currently only 750MB is used? The fat32 boot partition only has to be about 1GB in size. And you can’t use the bootable Ubuntu drive we just created, because we have to unmount the boot partition to resize it – which is not possible. Applications like Disk Utility (the OSX partition manager) doesn’t seem to be able to resize partitions and/or create ext4 file systems.
