I do not have my DOC mounted and the load averages are around 1.99 when the module is loaded. M-SYS for some reason can not seem to tell me what is going on here. If this is a garbage collector then it is using too much resources. TO fix this I issue rmmod doc. Now if I can remove the module then why is GC doing this? I have interfaces that insert and remove the module for each operation on flash. This takes time and is a hack. #2) Grub destroyed my first DOC. I use doc-lilo. Everytime I flash a new kernel on the DOC I have to re-run doc-lilo. #3) DOC is single source #4) My contractor and I have not been too pleased with their support. #5) I have to use putimage.exe and getimage.exe in DOS to flash other units. This means in development I have to maintain a dos envrionment. We are strictly linux in development #6) I have to load the driver as a module to obey the GPL of the kernel. I prefer to have it built in. This makes upgrades easier. #7) Writing to the thing is slooooowwww. #8) CF is so much easier using in devel and production.
