I would like to do the same thing on my FreeBSD 12 machine. I have not been able to find any documentation specifically dealing with that operation. Can anyone direct me to some or provide an example of how to accomplish this? I have a 32Gb USB drive I want to use for this purpose. Also, what would be the best file system to use. I currently have ZFS being employed for the HD. Thanks! --=20 Carmel
