I suppose pointing another Pi's root partition at it probably wouldn't work. I guess the next best thing could be to have the BOINC data directory on a nfs share. That should cut down a lot of the SD card wear. Something else for me to research.
i've typed up the process of moving the Pi's root partition and added it to my blog.
Sorry have been silent dealing with some health crap. Rereading what I wrote I do not like it. Need to do it differently. Will make another attempt soon. One concern I have is are we ready for the possible requests for help and trouble shooting? May be none may be a lot. I am certainly not up to it right now if it was very much and would not want to leave people hanging and give a bad impression. Just a thought.
Wanted to run a Pi Zero as an IP camera but wanted to stream its output through a Windows application called Blue Iris. Decided to use Linux Motion on the Pi Zero to stream the video. This gave me a local ip address which I used within Blue Iris to stream the Pi Zero's realtime stream.
I've added Jessie-backports to two of my Pi3's so I could pickup a more up to date BOINC client. Previously I had run the Stretch (testing) release but in October 2016 it started taking 30% longer to process BRP4 work so I concluded it was something added to the Stretch release and went back to using the Jessie release.
I will put the details up in my blog. If you look at my computers they should be fairly obvious as they have a later kernel and BOINC client. Speed wise they seem to be taking the same time as the others to process a BRP4 work unit.

...done, running like a charm! ;-)
But..., the next time I'm doing a sudo apt-get update/upgrade, the pi won't booting from the usb.
atm I helped by myself by doing the entire Process again and I can booting from usb again and again.
Something seems to change the boot order back to sd by updating and upgrading the system. Any Ideas, where the switch can be?
Thx

My guess is the update is over writing something needed, a config file. Maybe backup the config.txt and after update check for changes to it.

Got a couple of Pi Drives and installed them. Hopefully will save me having to reimage SD cards every few months.
