One issue that has not come up on the emailing list is that dd, designed to work with memsticks of various capacities, can not make the backup gpt at the end of the memstick.

Partition is just big enough to hold the data, and I ran out of inodes at times due to the installer writing to /tmp on the memstick.

Maybe a script to put a backup GPT at the end on the memstick, and make the second partition fill the space available so as not to be too tightly squeezed?
