Something that burns a lot of first-time appliance builders is the detail that things like CompactFlash have limited number of writes per sector. Running a RDBMS on a flash disk is a good way to chew up a flash disk pretty quickly. A good design for an appliance SBC is to set up the system to run in RAM, only accessing flash when the config is updated or while booting, having as few files as possible on the flash. -Bill -- William Yang [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you can't find a web site about your beliefs on the Internet, you have to wonder how far outside the mainstream you really are. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
