[OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing OI on USB stick

[Gea]

Only thing you should care about:

-  use OI server edition, disable atime
-  use fast and quite large USB sticks
    (16 GB, prefer USB3 even with only USB2 ports used)
-  ZFS mirror two of them for better reliability

Backup them from time to time (USB cloner)

ps
I moved to a ready to use ZFS server distribution on USB with
"napp-it to go" more http://napp-it.org/manuals/to-go_en.html
