Both suffer from low level failures, which cause the IDE driver layer to "give up" with "unrecoverable errors". The CF is so bad that I just gve up on the testing after a few hundred cycles. The IDE flash was better, but not much. Will raiserfs be happy if the underlying IDE /dev/hdxx driver returns "unrecoverable error" from the IDE device? Your call. Vipin
