Too bad I need to write to this partition (as detailed in the rest of my message that you did not include here). I have a database on board which needs persistent storage. And yes, I have thought of the previously mentioned options of running everything in ramdisk and periodically moving files to the flash. Of course, odds say this is less susceptible to corruption, but I don't have enough ram (I am using the biggest SIMM my board will take already) for this. -Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: Adi Linden To: Jon Burford Cc: Vipin Malik ; MTD Sent: Monday, December 13, 1999 6:49 AM Subject: Re: [Fwd: power down] > > > I mount the DOC2000 on /usr, but write only to the logs and db files (I have > > 'chattr i' on all other files in /usr).
