I'm not going to take your word for it. Speaking of flash drives, I recently realized again that the OpenBSD CVS repository isn't all that big by todays standards: about 4 GB, easily fitting on an 8-GB flash. This looks like an excellent match. If you mount it with the noatime option, a copy of the repository will see few writes, and read performance is dominated by random access time. That might be interesting for an anoncvs server. I need to look at the options for fitting a compact flash as an ATA drive into a normal PC. > The next step: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferroelectric_RAM Also: flying cars. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
