*** Know issues

** (1) On shutdown lots of messages from systemd like:

    "Could not unmount /run/archiso/<ABC>: Device or resource busy"
    "Could not delete loopback /dev/loop<N>: Device or resource busy"
    This is not a real issue since, all mounted filesystem, loopback devices
    and device mapper devices made by archiso will be "free" on "shutdown tmpfs"
    (A.K.A deinitramfs), build at initramfs by [archiso_shutdown] initcpio hook.
    Proper shutdown is mostly important when persistent is used.

** (2) ISOHYBRID-MBR does boot on some hardware:

    Some firmwares (BIOS) gets confused about using this hack
    (first partition start at offset 0 -> MBR "infinite recursion").
    Solutions:
        (a) Do not use this method, instead copy files manually and
            setup the bootloader [PC-BIOS (MBR)] (See README.transfer).
        (b) Change offset of the partition on the ISO or on the target medium
            (if ISO is already dumped):
            # isohybrid.pl -offset 1 <ISO-SOURCE>
            OR
            # isohybrid.pl -offset 1 <DEV-TARGET>
