Check if pendrive is persistent?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have a bunch of pendrives with live Linux ISOs loaded onto them and I would like to check one if it is persistent. Rebooting is not an option right now (system rescue).
Is there a simple command or utility to check if the current pendrive Linux installation is persistent on the pendrive?

On the drive, look for a file with the name casper-rw or a partition with the label casper-rw. That is where persistence is stored for persistent live Ubuntu drives.
