Debian Live persistence weird thing

[a3533]

I recently install a Debian live persistence (with Kali Linux guide maybe) and it works like a charm. But until last week when I was surfing internet with Opera browser, it (entire computer) hang. So I forcefully shut down my computer as usual. When I reboot, all my persistence data was gone. I cannot mount the persistence partition (it was showed there) and I downloaded Gparted to check my partition and it show me the 'persistence' partition was using an unknown file system. So I start Windows and recreate the live persistence disk. It work as usual until yesterday, same thing happen when I surf Internet (computer hang) and I forcefully shut down the computer and again when reboot the persistence data loss. This time I do nothing because I am busy with my work. Just today I want to recreate it and reboot to check if it really lose the data. But this time all the data come back. What is happening?
p/s:sorry for my bad English cause I'm not a native speaker of English.
EDIT:After that I was unable to access the persistence data again.

I'm using ext4 that time. So now when I make it again all thing go fine until the one which need to create another partition. I use gparted to create a ext3 partition after all change successfully applied, it show me the partition has an unknown filesystem.

I tried to format it to ext3 but it show me this


when I click retry it show this

Is it my pendrive will "die" soon?

There's no need to use GParted to format a partition when there is a simpler method.

First check to make that sure that you are formatting the correct partition:

Code: Select all

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Look carefully at the information. The output should make sense to you. Only go to the next step if the number of partitions and their sizes seem correct to you.

Run this command to format the partition:

Code: Select all

# mkfs.ext3 -L persistence /dev/sdb2

The "#" in the above commands means you must be the root user (or use sudo). Do not type the "#" character.

Is it my pendrive will "die" soon?

Possibly, but it is too early to say for certain.

I know it but I am not very good at partition using terminal.
I boot the pendrive with typed in 'persistence' in boot entry.
Now I got another problem, I delete the partition and recreate (Gparted) and it show me this

So I ignored that and continue format it using terminal but

And now I boot the computer without the 'persistence' entry it show me

But it not show me 'persistence' partition in file manager.
