Re: Choices for Soekris "disk drives"

Has anyone ever tried to kill a flash disk by building an FFS on it and writing to it repeatedly? Also, is there a way to have the filesystem keep track of the number of writes that have occured since creation? Or, alternatively, a way to count them from boot or mount? Jack On 7/15/05, knitti <

current cf cards have 1 million guarranteed write cycles or more. i wouldn't do heavy logging with them, but perhaps you can also afford to log to another host or to lose logs on power down. i think i wouldn't put /var/db/spamd directly on a cf card, perhaps you could sync it only every hour?
