I'm not sure if USB sticks tend to degrade filesystem-wise,
but when you put such a stick into random "Windows" PCs, it's
quite possible that data gets messed up. The most ideal
solution of course is to simply newfs the stick and give it
a UFS file system, but sadly, "Windows" PC are resistent to
standards, so they won't read it, but will force you to use
old-fashioned MS-DOS-like file systems. :-)
