So I recently installed 0.4 OMV from USB to my 8gb Nano PNY and within 24 hours my flash drive was toasted (not to mention a few failed boots during my hours of configuring and installing plugins).
After reading a few hours worth of Wiki and Forums, I now understand OMV writes way too much data for flash drives to handle.
SO, I'm wondering if I follow a tutorial to install inside Wheezy (http://wiki.debian.org/InstallOpenMediaVaultOnDebian), will that make a difference and allow me to install OMV on a flash drive under wheezy without killing it? (I don't want to install on my internal 160gb drive; that's too much wasted space and my current Nas4Free runs fine on a flash drive, but I prefer Debian over FreeBSD and want to switch if at all possible)
Installing on a netbook; ASUS eeePC 1001P 64bit, 1.6ghz Atom N450 dual core, 1gb RAM (DDR2), 160gb SATA (5400RPM).
Current setup is a 2004 Acer Aspire intel x86 2.1 ghz dual core, 2gb DDR2, 60gb SATA (5400rpm) running Nas4Free 9.0 on a 1gb cheapo flash drive (been running for 2 years, with no problems, but the hardware is dying).
