Probably not a good idea since most flash cards only have a finite amount
of writes before they wear out.

[gentoo-user] Coldplug Mounting confusion!!!

2005-03-04 Thread James Nicolson
I have a usb caddy which I wish to mount using fstab. Although I can 
not mount it until after coldplug has started!!! How can I get it to 
mount usb when reading fstab. I also have a sd card reader writer which 
I would like to mount as swap.

I want to mount the hard drive caddy as /var. How can I mirror /var 
onto the hard drive caddy so it will work?

Thank You. I am very confused.
I use 2.6 kernel with udev

Either compile the drivers you need into the kernel, or add the modules 
to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6

i have compiled usb mass storage driver into the kernel. it only seems 
to mount once coldplug is started.
