[haiku] Re: Haiku support for USB drives



rom: "Michael Lotz" <mmlr@xxxxxxxx>



After getting ever more annoyed at the slowness of this process I
upgraded to a bigger and much faster USB drive - A Sandisk cruzer
8GB  to be exact.  Unfortunately Haiku doesn't like it...
What you describe is interesting, but putting it here is not really the right place. Please open a bug report at dev.haiku-os.org. Also please state what 
revision you're using.
Yea, I was just asking if this was a known problem but I happened to be installing at the time so added the extra detail. 


I've fixed a pretty severe issue in this context last
weekend (r28934 and up).
Please check with a current revision and see if the trouble persists. If it does, please open a bug report mentioning the exact messages you see in the KDL. Probably it's something along the lines of "could not write back block x". 

Nope, looks like you fixed it :-)

I was able to initialise a partition and write to it.
Annoyingly it appears to be just as slow though. This is not the drives fault (writing is very fast from a Mac). An optimisation for later methinks... 


Anyway it's left me with a question...
Anyone have any idea how I get a machine to boot off a bootable partition? Getting it to boot is easy if there's only one partition, but how do I set it up if there's 2?
