Sounds good! Basically, the problem I had boiled down to a super old driver no kernel dev wants to touch with a ten foot pole and they’re just kinda hoping it’ll die a death to irrelevancy, but there are a few systems out there that do still use it.
The rest of the design moved on to more advanced architecture.
I had this problem specifically dealing with the way that IOMMU maps devices conflicting with a really old USB root hub. I had to set something like intel_iommu=off for my case.
Would you be willing to share the output of your dmesg ?
Don’t forget the random explosive barrel.
Back in my day, we had this feature on Windows Vista called ReadyBoost that took advantage of the low-latency of flash media to supplement our slow HDDs. I’m not sure if there was a direct replacement for this in the Linux world. There are filesystems that take advantage of faster tiers of storage, but different latency tier exploitation isn’t something that I know to be readily available.
Today, 2GB of USB flash is next to useless, but I would consider a homebrew rescue system to restore your backups and fix problems without needing to prepare an external flash drive.
This is when the timelines diverged and sent us to this place.
I’m glad you figured it out! Thank you for sharing your solution.
