    Make the USB stick image boot the root filesystem
    read only, just like the boot CD does. Also use 15%
    instead of 15MB more space. This leads to an image
    which contains a 97% full filesystem.

Why would you use a readonly file system if you can do it rw? I think that's the big advantage of a USB stick - DragonFly to go.

Only issue is fsck, which can take a while for low-speed USB (1 MB/sec). Nevertheless, I reverted it back to r/w.

Oh, I see. Well, once hammer booting is stabilized, we can even use a hammer volume :)


cheers
