Hi sfj, You don't need a partition unless you really want one but it comes at a cost. Power failure or improper power condition may leave the usb key in a manual attention state.
I recommend since /usr/local is done thru symlinks, simply re-align them to point to the usb instead of data disks but keep in mind if anything writes/logs continuously to that location you will be testing the durability/longevity(hence pointing it to zpool) of the USB drive. You may also be performance bound to I/O of the usb depending on the program you are running from there. AFP, mediatomb and more is already available in the download section, but feel free to compile and share your own. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ distribution-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/distribution-discuss
