Hi, I have been using the Raspberry Pi for a music player with an IQaudIO DAC PRO card. First, I used Devuan, which very sadly, did not recognize the DAC. After about 2 months of using Devuan, my SDCard, was burnt: no more write cycles were allowed and it become read-only. To correct this, and at the same time, to continue using Devuan, I used 'noatime', and this resulted in the SDCard remaining useable without issues. However, not being able to use the DAC, and after being advised from the DAC's manufacturer, I had to switch to Raspbian. The latter, readily recognised the DAC and I could use it. The audio difference betweent the Pi's built in sound chip and the DAC, is outstanding, to say the least. So, needless to state, I am now on Raspbian, but with an init other than systemd.
Pi users normally use an SDCard for their OS. I would have imagined a read-only bootable installation with file writes restricted to when an OS is shutdown, or better, on user requests. This to protect the SDCard. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
