Might be. I used none-industrial-grade CF cards, so the chance is of course higher. > running for about half a year now, with all filesystems being regular Thats fine. The machines that got replaced by the Alix board have been running for almost 5 years, and I hope that I don't need to touch the boards for several years. > - just using noatime is fine; should the card die one day, new CF cards > will be cheaper than a fart by then (and eight times as big, too). That might depend... I have the theory that if you are sysadmin, the machines "feel" when you are far away, and die exactly when you can't just drop in and repair them :) Cheers, Klaus
