I load a ext2 fs into memory from a raw file on DOC2000. If you loose power then you just reboot. No loss of data. Of course only config changes not the root fs. I store config in a shared memory sgement. I only write it to DOC when the user issues the 'save' command. --------- Original message -------- From: "Wil Taphoorn" To: "linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org" Subject: How to protect DoC 2000 from power fail? Date: 03-18-02 12:23 Gentlemen, I am looking for some rigid means of power fail protection for a DoC 2000 based embedded system. From what I have read so far I understand that almost any brand of journalling file system should do well but, then again, those readings also mention raw FLASH and not DoC, in other words, I think I am lost. Would someone be so kind to enlighten me? The system in question runs on a customized 486 SoC, boots from EEPROM and loads LILO from DoC. The kernel uses initrd to load the M-sys supplied DoC driver.
