Sounds good in theory. In practice, we can drive flash far more reliably in software than the manufacturers of this stuff can manage to implement in their built-in firmware. And if you think about the fact that you'll effectively have a journalling file system on top of another journalling file system, it doesn't really sound that good in theory either. Stick a journalling file system on a CF card and each write will hit the flash twice - great for device lifetime, that. Not that it matters too much - I'm led to believe that most CF devices don't actually do wear levelling internally anyway. > Can you recommend some products ? Basically, no. Has anyone actually found any CF-like products which actually survive a few days worth of powerfail-testing yet? -- dwmw2
