Isn't CF always wear-levelled internally, so it shouln't matter, and the internal compact flash controller will take care not to write to the same physical chip all the time? I wonder, because I had recently had two CF cards used as root sidk in a CF-ICE adapter go bad, one with unrecoverable bad sectors (ext3 couldn't be used on it, it was only 32 sectors = 16 kB, but still I couldn't use the card at all, because these sectors where coming back over and over again, like if the CF was remapping there somewhere else, and ext3 not knowing about that jumed upon them again, and so on, very strange). Then a second card got completely destroyed in just couple of months standard desktop usage as root filesystem. I didn't use swap on any of the cards, /home was also somewhere else, no really often changing data. -- Miernik http://miernik.name/ _______________________________________________ Ext3-users mailing list Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
