Maybe it's not using any filesystems on the USB stick. Maybe it just images a filesystem right down to the USB stick without ever mounting anything.

- geofft 8y agoIt has to read the source from somewhere to compile it, right?
- jacobush 8y agoGood point... stupid of me but I didn't think about the input side of things. Could be handled with a tar dump dd-ed straight to the USB device. (That's probably not happening, but it's good to think about these things.) Or a virtual throw away machine just for mounting a USB filesystem, extracting the files, place them in some dump directory and then the whole virtual machine is wiped. Heck, the virtual machine for copying should run BSD. :)
