Remember that /boot has to be on the uSD card, but root (/ and /usr), /var, /home and swap (and whatever[*] else you want) can go on the eSATA. It’s _way_ faster now than it was with everything on the uSD! Enjoy! Rick [*] Even though with only 2GB RAM the benefit is marginal, I like to put /tmp on tmpfs so it helps to have swap on the eSATA.
