I accidentally removed a xubuntu live usb from the computer while it was running but it seems to be working just fine. I can even launch applications that werent already open.
Is that expected? I have always thought you need to be careful to avoid bumping the usb drive or otherwise disturbing it.
Where is everything being stored? In RAM? Is the whole contents of the usb copied into RAM or just some parts?
Edit: tried it with manjaro and it fell apart. All kinds of never before seen errors. Replacing the usb didnt fix it. Couldnt even shut down the machine, had to hard power off.
remove live usb while running from it
Why are you running from it? There’s no need to be scared, it doesn’t normally bite
What if it’s plugged into a Terminator.
normally
tell me, which USB hurt you?
Hak5?
A lot of live images will run entirely from RAM, flash drives are typically quit slow so it makes the experience much nicer.
It’s creating a RAM drive and just keeps working from there. You can even plug the stick back in and save files on it, if needed.
