In my experience, that's a bad idea. USB-sticks are not reliable over a longer period, and you can expect data loss. > and use the whole 2TB for Data.

While I'm with you to not use LVM, what's the problem with rsync'ing your data to your new disks? And be aware that I'm highly biased as a long time user of XFS, but that's what I would suggest. What matters is reliability, and nothing beats XFS. Period :-) > 2. Is the USB OS ok? I do not feel I am losing that much, after all, it is > a system that will be mostly on at home. S.a.

S2D takes almost as long as a full reboot, and has shown to not be reliable on some machines. S2R would be an alternative. > Is there anything I should know I am not taking into consideration? Keep it simple. Just put the OS on one of the disks, use XFS and be happy :-) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
