USB Flash Memory HOWTO
Category: Desktops, Laptops and OS
Tags: flash memory, portable devices, usb, linux, digital, data
Overview The purpose of this document is to describe procedures for implementing USB flash memory devices (memory sticks) on Linux. Flash memory devices come mainly in the form of small, portable devices often referred to as memory sticks or keychains, and as part of digital cameras. They are non-volatile devices, which operate on the principle that electric charges are used to represent data in binary format. These charges can remain unchanged almost indefinitely, but changes (such as writing to the device) limit the life span of the device (100000 writes of 8MB each).
