Hi, I'd like to use a flash drive as a journal device, with the purpose of keeping the main disk drive spun down as long as possible. I have a couple of questions: 1) Does the journaling code spread write accesses to the journal device evenly, as I hope, or are there blocks that are particularly "hot"? I.e., do I have to worry about the flash device dying quickly because of frequent erase/rewrite cycles to a small number of blocks? 2) Currently, the main drive seems to spin up within 60 seconds after a write access. I would like the checkpointing to occur only when the journal device is getting full. How can I tune this? Thanks, MikaL _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
