I have a 16GB usb stick running 11.3 on my laptop after the hard drive failed. It works fine with the latest kde and openoffice. Remarkable.
A replacement hard drive is not possible.
My question is about how long the stick will last. It looks as if the limit is around 10 000 writes. How long is that at eg. 24/7 for opensuse?
I don't know, but two things you should do as soon as possible to maximize the time is to turn off all logging, and put /tmp and /var/tmp on ram disks
With that not writing to the drive, I can imagine it takes quite a while to get to 10K writes

Is there anything I can do easily to turn off logging? Next, to look into the ram disks. My /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-_USB_DISK_2.0_078A0DB1005E-0:0-part1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/disk/by-id/usb-_USB_DISK_2.0_078A0DB1005E-0:0-part2 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 I can't see how to get /tmp out of the stick to ram.
