Do you really need a r/w filesystem ? I assumed we'll store up to 5 files. And change them at maximum once everyday. But this might be worst case. Maybe we (our costumers) change them once a week... I think I need a r/w filesystem because we need easy random access. CRAMFS or ramdisk is no option. -- Steven Scholz imc Measurement & Control imc Meßsysteme GmbH Voltastr. 5 Voltastr. 5 13355 Berlin 13355 Berlin Germany Deutschland
