I'll have to look at "release". > ... Never had a problem with any of these systems or the CF cards. Mine problem with CF is that they are sloooooow to access and worse for writing. However regarding the limited read/write cycles, CF are apparently becoming much more durable than earlier. One thing I note is that the ones I have all have 5 year warranties and where I am using them it would troublesome, but not catastrophic, for the CF to be sent back while under warranty. > ... > Some contents on my CF card (config files, etc.) are remotely backed > up via rsync over SSH and/or tar over SSH to a remote system (and a > local backup too). I have both, too, but am considering rolling a second bsd.rd with non-standard options like SSHd. though I can't quite think of how that would be useful, since I usually have to have console access anyway if I mess things up so badly as to require a restoration. Experiments with /dev usually caused that. regards, -Lars
