This is completely inappropriate for a Raspberry Pi, which does not

ot

boot like a PC using grub.

oeps.. my bad ..

So the maybe is: do not try this ..

Thanks for correcting me.

Actually I did read somewhere that it is possible. Technically you only need to use the SD card to boot to init, so modify your /etc/fstab to change the location of your root partition to the device of the USB drive. (Theoretically, I haven't booted my Pi's in quite some time.. rapidly losing interest in running a BBS) ..

Hello Dave!

of the USB drive. (Theoretically, I haven't booted my Pi's in quite

I've 1 Pi running will never be rebooted unless there is a power outtage. That device is getting through USB my weatherstation data which is than processed by Weewx and has an FTP session to my website to show me the data ;)
