Only thing you should care about: - use OI server edition, disable atime - use fast and quite large USB sticks (16 GB, prefer USB3 even with only USB2 ports used) - ZFS mirror two of them for better reliability
Backup them from time to time (USB cloner) ps I moved to a ready to use ZFS server distribution on USB with "napp-it to go" more http://napp-it.org/manuals/to-go_en.html Gea napp-it.org Am 01.03.2013 02:40, schrieb Peter Wood:
I'm planning to install OI on an USB stick and then mirror rpool to another USB stick. This will free up the 2 HDD that were used for the OS to be used for storage. The USB sticks will be plugged in to two USB ports and stay there forever. No unplugging or swapping ports. The system will be a production system and it's important to be reliable. Any reason not to install OI on USB sticks? Anything I should be careful about? Your shared experience is appreciated.
