Flash drives does usually not last more than 10000 writes, per bit, from what I know. Probably you need some kind of special file-system that moves the files around as the write quoute gets used up! Eventually the size of the disk will reach zero, and you have to move the files elsewhere :-) But this is probably off topic. --HPS _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
