Actually, that's a good point. All that writing to the FAT would use
those flash blocks a lot, which would indeed wear it out.
I trashed a Crucial 1GB drive in a few weeks, until I found out about
this change.
I think this problem should find its way in the official Gentoo docs (if
it isn't already there). It affects all recent Linux distros anyway.
It's quite crucial -trashing usb flash drives is NOT good marketing for
our beloved penguin.
Anyone knows if on the LKML the devs gave some opinion about this side
effect?
