-Some USB storage settings require the unloading/reloading of USB storage drivers. Changing those settings can affect the contents of your system log (syslog) file. For example, enabling or disabling filesystems, or unmounting the drive where the system log is stored may cause storage errors and possibly loss of log content.+Some USB storage settings require the USB storage drivers to be unloaded/reloaded. Changing these can affect the contents of your system log (syslog) file. For example, enabling or disabling filesystems, or unmounting the drive where the system log is stored may cause storage errors or loss of log content.
  
-Before changing any USB filesystem settings, you should first reconfigure syslog to be stored (temporarily) in RAM. Only then should you adjust filesystem settings or unmount the drive. Then you can configure syslog to again store log files on USB storage, where it shouldn't be interrupted.+Before changing USB filesystem settings, first reconfigure syslog to be stored (temporarily) in RAM.

-**USB filesystem corruption is a very common cause of system instability.** You could experience a VPN connectivity issue, WiFi instability or any other seemingly "random" problem directly or indirectly caused by USB filesystem issues. When troubleshooting, you are advised to add USB filesystem checks to your troubleshooting checklist.+**USB filesystem corruption is a very common cause of system instability.** You could experience a VPN connectivity issue, WiFi instability or any other seemingly "random" problems caused by USB filesystem issues.
