Hello,
I have attached a USB stick (those little keychain devices) to my router
machine. The idea is to add those 2 GB space so that my friends and
family can transfer file to/from it.
Now, I am also concerned with the number of read/write cycles limitation
on these kind of memory devices. I have the following line in /etc/fstab
to mount the stick:
UUID=726D-5386 /media/tempdisk vfat
fmask=111,dmask=0,noauto,user,quiet,shortname=mixed,nosuid,noatime,flush,utf8
0 1
IIRC, this was based on some google search I did when I first attached
that device to the machine.
Any suggestion if this can be improved to prolong the life of the memory
stick? Or at least not reduce it on a Debian Testing system?
1. noatime has the most impact.
2. Modern flash memory lasts much longer than older flash,
3. How often will your friends/family be writing to it????
