Sounds likea good setup. What tool are you using for partitioning? I don't remember luks/btrfs as an option in fdisk, admittedly I am coming from a debian perspective just switching to arch to try it out. -----Original Message----- From: Mauro Santos [mailto:registo.mailling@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2014 6:58 AM To: arch-general@archlinux.org Subject: Re: [arch-general] creating an archlinux usb key with persistence On 13-03-2014 12:04, Øyvind Heggstad wrote:
Any info would be appreciated.
BTW: I am planning on using a 64gb usb key for this endeavor.
Just create a extra partition on the usb stick and format it as f2fs or whatever. There you go, persistent storage.
I would say go with btrfs in that case. I've tried f2fs for a while and in my opinion it still needs to mature a bit more, right now I'm giving btrfs a go and so far I'm happy. My setup right now is this: 32GB usb3 drive |-sda1 (4G) - fat32 |-sda1 (256M) - ext4 /boot |-sda2 (rest of drive) - luks - btrfs - subvolumes for root and home -- Mauro Santos
