RE: USB Installation
Really?
I came from a Transcend Class 10 card and the USB 2.0 is really faster. Especially when working in the shell and doing some compiling for example. But as I said, the by far biggest advantage is to get rid of the filesystem corruption even with overclocking (arm_freq=1100;core_freq=500;sdram_freq=500). |

RE: USB Installation
Thanks all. What should the USB be formatted as?
Edit: This is what I got: xbian@xbian ~ $ dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/sda2 dd: opening `/dev/mmcblk0p2': Permission denied xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 of=/dev/sda2 [sudo] password for xbian: dd: writing to `/dev/sda2': No space left on device 20481+0 records in 20480+0 records out 10485760 bytes (10 MB) copied, 0.9318 s, 11.3 MB/s |

RE: USB Installation
Thanks - seems to be doing something.....
Does that mean I need to change /dev/mmcblk0p2 to /dev/sda2 to sda? Does it depend on port? |

RE: USB Installation
Well, for me, its slower. Using a Class 4 SD Card and a Intergral USB 3 stick, it seems noticeably slower booting up. Trying a class 10 card now without USB.
