Dear all, I'm currently trying to build a low power/low noise computer and as a part of the concept, I would like to use a flash card as the main storage. I'm aware, that flash cards have only a limited amount of write cycles before the cells wear out and therefore I'm looking for ways to reduce the number of write cycles. First of all, it is obvious, that swap partitions have to be avoided and replaced by real ram, so currently I'm planing for 2 maybe even 4 GB of memory. Now, I've once used noflushd on a notebook, which somewhat does, what I want, however, with every read cycle also writes are performed. What I would like to have would be to assign - say .5 to 1 GB memory to store all write accesses and only make them permanent every hour or so. So noflushd would still perform write access too often. Any ideas are welcome :)
