Ah fair enough. I have a similar problem with my wireless access point starting up faster than my OPNsense router, so the wireless access point doesn't get a dhcp address and needs to be restarted after the other is started. Power outages are so much fun eh :P

The board is connected via GPIO and USB, but I believe it uses the USB for the mSATA, it's faster than the SD card, but obviously not as fast as it would be on USB 3. When I was using it (I'm not currently) I think I had home mounted on the mSATA and the system on the sd card, the bbs lived in home, it worked fine, plus if the sd card died, i still had my bbs :)

Yeah true, but then I couldn't quote. Agency also uses mystic but I think the forward to a different area may be limited here to Avon (or I just don't know what I'm doing, I'm not familiar with mystic really)
