Has anyone tried to disable THP (transparent huge-pages) with the
following command (as root) before using USB stick?

echo "never" > "/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled"

This can be easily undone with:

echo "always" > "/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled"

Or just with a reboot.
