Hi all, I've been using Debian on my FreeRunner, with more-or-less regular dist-upgrades, for a few months. All on a micro-SD card: I keep OM2007.2 on the internal flash for rescue purposes. I wasn't sure at the time, but in retrospect it seems to have been a good idea, since I've recently started getting repeatable I/O errors on the SD when I try to write stuff (especially when I try to restart the interrupted dpkg run), and the filesystem gets remounted read-only automatically. I guess I somehow went through more write cycles than I thought, and ext3 wasn't such a good idea.
So I'm wondering how to get the next SD card to last longer. Should I just get rid of the journaling and switch to ext2? Should I stick to something specialised such as jffs2? How about BtrFS, is it usable yet? LogFS? I'm also wondering whether it's really a good idea to put swap on a flash device, whatever the filesystem. Any comments would be welcome :-) Roland. -- Roland Mas How does an octopus go into battle?
