Experience with Centos running off usb-stick(s)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi,
I'm trying to build a redundant duo of firewalls/routers/gateways and I'm 
thinking about not putting any disks in them and instead using a usb-stick 
raid-1 as storage.
Has anyone any experience with this? Since the machines will be running 
pretty much only iptables, conntrackd and keepalived there is not going to 
be a lot of disk activity going on and the plan is to do all the logging on 
a remote machine which should reduce the write activity on the sticks to 
almost zero during normal operation.

I've already created a fairly minimal kickstart for such an installation 
but I'm wondering if there are any opinions out there on whether this is a 
feasible approach or if there are any gotchas I'm not aware of.

Regards,
   Dennis
