Tails 6.8 Introduces File System Repair When Unlocking Persistent Storage
Tails 6.8 introduces a new file system repair feature when unlocking the Persistent Storage and there are errors. As such, Tails will prompt users to repair the file system from the Welcome Screen. The Tails devs also wrote comprehensive documentation on recovering data from the Persistent Storage.
The new Tails release also improves the notification when a network interface is disabled when MAC address anonymization fails, increases the maximum waiting time to 8 minutes when unlocking the Persistent Storage before returning an error, better handles failures when sending WhisperBack error messages, and adds the ability to hide the password while unlocking Persistent Storage by default.
