RE: Running on usb flash



Could be a file system check. Leave it alone over night and see what happens. I can't see anything wrong with your fstab. If it's not fsck, you may need a serial console.

Thanks

I've added


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda2       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro,noatime 0       1
/dev/sda1       /boot           ext2    defaults,noatime        0       2
/dev/sda6       /home           ext3    defaults,noatime        0       2
/dev/sda5       none            swap    sw              0       0

to fstab, is it worth minimzing or disabling swap?

I've just bought some decent fast kingston drives, like you say it's not worth the risk using cheap drives.

I've run several devices from usb flash for years and have always followed the advice of Martin Michlmayr to use -noatime. Through the years I've had a few crashes, but they have consistently been on cheap usb devices. My advice is to use noatime and sandisk memory, other measures give little in return.
