Chances are, though, that unlike "real" SSDs your CF is slow enough that it actually benefits from being treated like a rotational device.
Thanks. But performance is not my primary concern or I wouldn't have chosen a system consisting of low-performance components ;-) (the CompactFlash card is only one example; others include the 500MHz Geode CPU, Via Rhine NICs, a tiny amount of RAM etc). I care more about low power consumption and the system has to be only just fast enough for my needs.
I was just trying to provide some data points for discussion purposes. Cheers, Jan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
