Salutations, Remember that fat32 has a 4GB file size limitation (it doesn't effect Mauro Santos, cause his partition is 4GB). In addition I suggest using fat32 for /boot since it can also work on UEFI systems (minimum partition size is 100mb). I also use luks+btrfs (I use dmcrypt). Regards, Mark

Salutations, If you kind of just follow my message you'll understand how. It really goes exactly like I said. I'll work on writing a script for generating one, possibly have a rough draft sometime tomorrow. Regards, Mark On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 6:38 AM, Manolo Martínez wrote: > On 03/13/14 at

Hi, Are there instructions for creating an archlinux usb key with persistence somewhere? I want to use my archlinux usb key as a diagnostic tool, and sometimes it is helpful to save files to it for later review. Any info would be appreciated. BTW: I am planning on using a 64gb usb ke
