R5 wasn't an "official" image. Never announced, (or a direct link posted), it was going to be the "placebo" test image for the still missing Web-GUI fstab/mount/partition/format testing, that has been delayed due to me not having a development machine for the last 2 weeks. Not that I know of any issues with the R5 image, only that it received very minimal testing. (I believe you and one other have installed it.) gregb wrote: > > 1.

Aside from logging, (which could be minimised), and LMS writes to /var/lib/squeezeboxserver, there isn't a lot of I/O. I wouldn't expect there to be issues with failing memory cards. (Assuming they are the cheapest "junk" you can find. I have cards that have been heavily used and abused in cameras, before being pressed into service in embedded devices. The only failure I have seen is from a no-brand card.) Having said that, it was part of the plan, (and admittedly bottom of the list), to have a read-only, (with write via a unionfs over-mount), cut-down image at some point in the future. But it's not something I have been working on, nor intend to work on until after we have added the JS hardware into the mix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98544 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
