I have no cable between the board USB connector and the stick, and the
Sheevaplug people claim to have good USB 2.0 support... I will see if
it happens again.

Yes, I'm using it as /tmp, where I do builds. Kernel builds for example.

I barely used that stick... and I trust Kingston so I think this is
not the case.

I use noatime, but I didn't know of nodiratime.

<ca>Doncs n'estic ben content. Pel preu crec que està molt bé. Hi he
estat portant el NixOS, i no he fet cap compilació creuada, així que
s'ho ha menjat tot el Sheevaplug. Però fa només un dia que utilitzo
l'stick USB, abans ho feia tot amb nfsroot.</ca>

Salutacions,
Lluís.
