Hi,<br>
<br>
There is a subtlety in running Ubuntu with rootfs on USB disk on Mele.<br>
At least in my case, I had to modify a few scripts to make sure that<br>
USB disk is given time to flush buffers. Otherwise I was getting<br>
corrupted rootfs almost every reboot.<br>
<br>
I changed these scripts:<br>
/etc/init.d/umountroot (added 5 sec delay after root unmount)<br>
/etc/init.d/sendsigs (disabled killing of usb-storage process just to be sure)<br>

Or a precooked SD image with u-boot and boot script and maybe a kernel?<br>Still new to Mele so haven't really found how to do this (and yes, I'll have to build up that knowledge eventually)<br>
