Just to mention, I found the time to make an other copy that went up
smoothly. No idea about the problems of the first copy.

Hello,
I did a backup of my upgraded to 7.7 stick by my usb duplicator (same
uuid and layout) and I got this:
http://gaox.io/l/77fc88b
after mounted my partitions successfully..
(no internet connection in place)
Any new implementation eventually I have to wonder about ?
USB flash drives have a very high failure rate.
I believe I have found writing to the entire "drive" seems to help
*sometimes*...
dd bs=1m if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rsdXc
dd bs=1m if=/dev/zero |tr "\0" "\377" |dd bs=1m of=/dev/rsdXc
(there may be a better way of writing binary 1s)
(out of general paranoia, I generally use OpenbSD to zero all USB drives
before putting in any OS that likes to look on the drive to find something
to do with it...i.e., Windows and Linux systems. The ones write is just
for drives that I'm either relying on or have given me issues before).
Your results WILL Vary.
Nick.
