Not questioning a great project, but just curiosity about this small aside: why is USB 2.0 not suitable for the OS?
On a NAS, is it doing anything other than boot-time reading, and maybe occasionally writing a little data?
- kylemart 3y ago+1, I was wondering the same thing. Genuinely curious.
- zootboy 3y agoI run a NAS on a USB 2.0 boot disk, and the only issue I have with it is that systemd-journald really isn't built with slow disks in mind. Doing a journalctl operation with 6 months of log files takes a good minute or two because of journalctl's non-optimal file access patterns.
- granra 3y agoNot mentioned in the post but I also run some light server workloads on this machine and things were annoyingly slow with a USB 2.0 thumb drive. I'm not gonna pretend that the real reason for making this wasn't because I have fun tinkering though.
- neilv 3y agoIt's a great project, and your solution is also technically superior to running off USB 2.0 thumb drives.
