IMO, no. See my other posting. I use 4GB USB 2.0 pen drives as boot devices. mount the partitions with noatime option and you should be OK. Although you have not mentioned swap on the pen drive, do *not* create swap partitions on pen drives :) > Would it be better to > set up the 1.5 TB with two VGs, one for the OS and one for data? This should also work since your OS will take less than 3 GB. You could also put a small swap LV as well. -- Arun Khan Sent from my non-iphone/non-android device -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
