Sharing usb key with more content #3

In your guide, you mention:

Technically it may contain any other content and may be followed by one or more partitions of any type. I prefer to leave them with only this single hidden partition as it prevents (non-technical) people from using the USB stick as a drive (I use key shaped USB drives). You can find some of my scripts on my GitHub

What is the problem you have found of having several other partitions available in such disk for content?

Well.. people may "reinitialize" the drive (create a new partition table), deleting the contents. Also the wear on the drive is typically higher, making them fail faster.

NB: I prefer the 1 euro key shaped drives from China with 128MB storage.. well.. in that case it doesn't make sense anyway.
