Thanks a lot already for your help! It increases the number of writes a bit, but in many cases might actually reduce the number of overwrites for certain blocks like the superblock, which can be an advantage for those CF cards that don't do wear-levelling. But it's really not a filesystem designed for flash. --Stephen _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
