USB accdental unplugs
Posted: 28 Mar 2016, 18:17
Hi !
It is really great running Porteus entirely from an USB stick ... except when the usb connector is loose and the stick gets accidentally disconnected: even for a fraction of a second, the system becomes unstable and any unsaved work will be lost, which is not funny. As the persistence file does not cleanly unmount, you also get chances that the file becomes corrupted (fortunately, this does not always happen). I believe that the kernel can handle this (see Documentation/usb/persist.txt), but it doesn't work for me, and when the usb is unplugged and immediately replugged, the USB instance is changed and the stick remount on a new /dev/sdcX.
Has anyone dealt with this situation? I'll be pleased to hear an try any suggestion that could make USB more resilient (a fashionable word lately 8) ).
Congrats to the Porteus team for the great tool we enjoy.
Thanks.
