Using bootable USB Drive for general storage in unused space as well
by rfoLqOrg from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HCHR)
I am not asking whether it makes a whole lot of sense to use a USB stick for both booting an OS and unrelated general data storage, I just ask
if that is technically possible without interfering with the bootable nature of that drive. Of course in case the drive still has free space not used by the bootable OS.
I would not know how creating an additional regular folder in the free space and putting files in it would cause any problem. At the very least I might want to put a Readme there, telling what the bootable OS is and when it was created, using which tool, and such. An extra partition would be over-kill in that context, I think.
