Hi Paul,
I am booting from a 512MB CF card, and run /var and /tmp from a RAM drive. Upon startup, the CF card /var and /tmp dir. are copied into the ram drives, the rest is Read Only. When it shuts down (not very often), the ram drive contents are copied back to the CF card. You could backup the ram drive to CF more frequently if required. I run off of 12V battery, so power failures don't affect me all that much. You could monitor the Battery/UPS for power failure conditions if needed etc. Running FreeBSD 6.0.
Cool! Is there a "proper" way of copying from/to /var and /tmp at boot and at shutdown or did you make the scripts on your own? So far, my boxie has be running flawlessly, I have also hard-rebooted it during a file copy and everything was OK with the filesystem. However, I put in two flash drives and made a gmirror out of them for redundancy. Today I am putting it to a remote location and I hope everything will run there too. Thanks to all, Nejc _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
