Getting ready for mkusb

[Aere Greenway]

Nio:

I have a question for you regarding mkusb.

With the bootable USB drives I've created in the past, I have had two 
partitions.  The first one is for the system, which contains everything 
that normally goes on a live USB drive, including the persistant 
storage.  It's size is what is required for all of that.

The 2nd partition, using the rest of the space on the USB drive, is an 
'extra' or 'data' partition, which is available for mounting when 
running the bootable USB system.  You can easily put files there while 
running the bootable USB, which can later be accessed by other systems 
when you terminate your bootable USB system.

Given that, will mkusb use just the first partition (particularly if it 
is empty), and leave the other partition un-touched, or does it 
re-format the entire USB drive, taking out the 2nd partition?

I'm not saying that other people should use this two-partition process.  
It's just something that has been useful for me, and the way I use 
bootable USB drives.
