This is an awesome idea. Just some questions:

1) Do you think we could have some sort of script to backup and restore the whole setup before and after applying a firmware update? (I know that until Nokia actually changes N900 default filesystem layout we will have to use some sort of workaround)

2) What would be the best file system for a flash-based disk? I'm a little bit worried about XYZ wearing the disk too much because of too much updates to some sectors. Anyway, FAT32 updates the FAT too much, anyway.

3) I also agree with your last points about having a more standard Linux directory structure. It would make it a lot easier to use a tool like rsycn or Unison to synchronized your desktop files with the N900.

4) Do you think we could also throw into this mix some sort of selective Cryptography (for example: keep a subfolder encripted)?

5) Finally. I'm assuming you have already managed to get your idea working on your device. What are your thoughts about it? Anything unusual happened?

Thanks,
Luis
