There's an assumption I should have made clearer from the outset, that is that we intend to mirror the entire root pool of an opensolaris installation "rpool" which could be all of or a large chunk of capacity of a modern hard disk. For mirroring the root pool on an opensolaris system, a usb memory stick probably won't have the necessary capacity in anything but a very limited set of circumstances. At least disks are cheap :)
