You're close, but there might be complications; I don't know. I have
several goals:
1. Run Debian on the 7250, so I can compile and run without doing a
pivot_root to and from TS-Linux when I'm testing the program. I know a
Debian-compiled program will run under TS-Linux. I just want everything
to be in one place -- development and production.
2. Have network access to the app's HTML and CSV files, so home PCs can
view or analyze the data. I can't use NFS for these because the PCs run
Windows, so I'll need Samba running on the 7250 if the files are on the
USB drive.
3. Not crash my Linux server's file system if the 7250's power fails.
I certainly can continue booting the 7250 to Debian over NFS, and have
the app write its files to the USB drive. Does Sarge have the USB
drivers, so it sees the USB drive? I can check that on a different 7250
hee in my office.
My reason to boot to USB Sarge was/is to move _everything_ to the
TS-7250 in the mechanical room, where the HVAC is located. Then, a power
failure would have no chance of affecting the Linux server.
I guess my next step is to boot my office 7250 to NFS Sarge, and check
if it sees the USB drive.
Thanks, Jim.
