Running DietPi on a USB HDD w/o SD
[quote=“jsfrederick”]
I’ve converted all my Pi’s to boot from hard drive or USB stick.
[/quote]All Raspberry Pi’s ?!
I will say no.
What’s about Raspberry Pi-Zero, Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi B+ , Raspberry Pi B, Raspberry Pi A, Raspberry Pi 2, …?
[/quote]All the Pi’s I have are RPi 3’s so, yes, all mine are booting from hard disk.

I’ve had no issues so far.

And, unfortunately seeing no advantage over moving filesystem to USB devices. Only drawback and rising boot up time. Sorry.
But you can do as you like.I do. It reduces the issues with booting and writing to SD cards and produces a more stable storage platform. Yes, it does increase the boot time, but that is something I will live with. It also allows for LARGE (>2TB) storage platforms. I am using them for Nextcloud and Netatalk.

What is the take on official support for this from DietPi?

I did see and read the other message about this process. I think that most folks had attempted USB boot before it was “Officially” supported by RPI Foundation. They just supported this in March (I think). So maybe it would work well now with DietPi. I may give it a try when I get a few minutes.[
Thanks for the info/i]
