Innodb: pros and cons

If you have to sync different devices you could have many problems with Innodb engine.

But on the other hand, it has some advantages: is more modern than MyIsam, and support foreign keys.

A compromise can be have Innodb as engine, but all the tables in MyIsam.
You should in any way be careful with some files, as already explained, in particular ibdata1.

how get rid of Innodb

If you don’t need foreign kayes, you can get rid of Innodb in /etc/my.cnf, with these instructions (stop mariadb before, and restart after):

default-storage-engine=MyISAM

Linux fstab to mount different fs with the same label

If you have different partitions (such as USB ones) with the same label (so that you can syncro them with the same script) but with different filesystem (such as btrfs and ext4) you can modify your fstab line using auto instead of etx4 or btrfs.

I mean something like this:

LABEL="your-label"  /media/your-mount-path  auto  users,noauto,noatime,nodiratime  0  2

In this way you will be able to mount your usb devices (either etx4 or btrfs or another fs) without problems.
