USB disks have been working well for me under RHEL4 - since the initial
release. I did not try booting from them, though.
If you put a ext3 filesystem on a USB disk, the performance is
indistinguishable from a ATA disk.

Dear all,
To expand my earlier posting:
The release notes for the initial release of RHEL 4 clearly state:
The initial release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 does not support USB hard
disk drives. However, other USB storage devices, such as flash media, CD-ROM
and DVD-ROM devices are currently supported.
The release notes for the 3 subsequent upgrades do not mention any have
changes to this situation. I don't understand why flash media should be so
different to a disk.
It may be that usb disks are unsupported but work under most circumstances.
I'll investigate further.
Many thanks for the replies
