Hello

I am using astlinux 0.7.1 on an alix2c3 board with a 2GB CF card.

As far as I can see the system is optimized to reduce flash writes as much 
as possible.

I am however wondering what writes are happening every couple of minutes to 
astdb? There are nearly no entries in the db and they are not changing. 
Still the file is written to in irregular intervals (about once every 5 to 
10 min). No calls are being done at the time of testing.

That would amount to more than 75000 writes each year, which seems to wear 
down the CF card significantly, I guess.

1.) Is this the normal behaviour of Astlinux (or something special in my 
installation)?

2.) Will this destroy my CF card in foreseeable time?

3.) Should I move the astdb file to a RAM disk and sync it via cron to the 
hard drive?

Thanks for any help.

Michael
