Right, I didn't think about booting without an external card... That would be pretty bad indeed. I don't like having my root partition mounted on a non-existing device, but until the kernel is fixed I'll have to live with it I guess

I confirm what kernelpanic just said: Debian (or at least Ubuntu Gutsy) mounts everything the kernel can read. So limiting the USB sharing to the first partition is definitely a good idea for those using Linux.

Yes, that's the one I used. The whole cloning process works on 2008 (no reason why it wouldn't). And I didn't find anything specific to 2007.
