OK, you've convinced me. Now all I have to do is work out how to install the thing from the .img.tgz file. When I did tar -xvzf it extracted a load of smaller files none of which I could use as the basis for a dd session. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough? Anyhow, all is working fine now so many thanks to all involved!

With wear leveling, the same sector isn't being written to each write. The load is spread around. You should get years of use out of a CF card the way Astlinux is configured.

If you're paranoid, you'd be better off using rsync to copy the data on a regular basis. You don't seem to be concerned about writes to your USB thumb drive.

Re: [Astlinux-users] 0.6.1 won't allow me to write anything
Well, so much for USB support in the NET4801. The stick is detected on boot up but not mounted. If I unplug it and then plug it back in after bootup when the system is running then it gets detected and mounted as /dev/sda1. However, this still doesn't allow me to make any writes other than directly to /dev/sda1's files via the command prompt. Obviously I can't be re-plugging the USB stick every time there's a power cut.

Re: [Astlinux-users] 0.6.1 won't allow me to write anything
I think that the OS is NOT picking up the USB stick for it's own use. I'll try the /dev/hda approach rather than /dev/sda but I thought the whole point of using s CF card and USB combo was that the CF card was write cycle limited as well as pretty slow. Have I spotted an "undocumented feature" here?

Re: [Astlinux-users] 0.6.1 won't allow me to write anything
I've just rebooted for the n'th time and careful scrolling back through the screen buffer shows the USB stick gets detected but somehow it's not mounted. Oddly though it works in other machines. I'm gonna try a different stick.

If findfs wasn't able to find the label, it's not going to mount your unionfs partition. Are you certain that you rebooted after creating the unionfs partition? (ie fdisk /dev/hda ; create new partition bla bla reboot) Then after rebooting 'genunion /dev/hda2' I don't know how well the usb thumb drive will work for the unionfs partition. I haven't tested it. If you have a 1GB CF card, you have a large amount of space available on that card for your unionfs partition.

Hi Darrick, Yes, I have rebooted a number of times. I get this when I issue your command; pbx ~ # findfs LABEL=asturw findfs: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=asturw' pbx ~ # I'm running a 1gb CF card and a 512mb USB stick in a NET4801. The genunion script appears to run correctly. It doesn't bail out with any errors or bitch about things it can't find. With the "old" 0.4 images etc one had to choose from a menu at boot time which told Astlinux what partitions to use for what purposes. I don't see this menu anymore. Should there be one?

[Astlinux-users] 0.6.1 won't allow me to write anything
OK, I have runnix installed and also AstLinux too but I can't get it to write anything down. I've run genunion and it makes a keydisk of sorts but doesn't mount it anywhere so as to write to it (that I can see anyhow). Whenever I try to change the root password it fails to write to /etc/shadow. Writes through the web interface fail also. As far as I can see I've gone through the entire howto-ish. I realise that it's a work in progress. Any help etc would be greatly appreciated.
