I'll accept patches since it is a feature that already existed, but I
have to say that this is a *really* bad idea. You're going to lose data.
You are better off partitioning the device and mounting it as /home/ or
whatever. I actually tried using this last week for a temporary install
while waiting for a new harddrive. System didn't like to wake from sleep
properly so I had to pull the plug, and guess what? Corruption - I had
to recreate the USB stick.
