Beginners Guide "Create an initial ramdisk environment" hooks needed
In the guide at this location:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … nvironment
it addresses when the mkinitcpio.conf hooks line needs changes. Is it really the case that installing to a external USB spinning drive with root there, requires a change to the default hooks? It seems like the default hooks line includes the "block" already. It is block that handles USB, right?
I am talking about an installation, not copying the install media, etc.
Here is my hooks line:
base udev autodetect modconf block lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsckwhich I believe is stock except for the LVM entry.
I ask because I wanted to test installing to an external USB3.0 drive to judge performance.
Thanks in advance.
Steve.

That sentence looks like it predates the block hook (when there was a usb hook for exactly that reason).
You can test it easily enough

Will test and let you know.
Just doing a little study before I try the install.
Tks
