When booting from a USB drive this process has to be done multiple times (firmware/boot loader and the operating system), and there is a high chance that this process doesn't complete during one of these stages. In general, the Linux USB stack is solid, so it is recommended to boot Home Assistant OS from an SD card and use a USB attached flash drive as data partition only. The data move can be accomplished through the `datactl` command on the host or through the UI. For more information, see [Using external Data Disk](/common-tasks/os/#using-external-data-disk) +Home Assistant offers a data disk feature that offloads all data to an attached USB hard drive.
