I had huge production problems with CF cards just a month ago. I used to
live in Canada and still have some business there - electronic voting
equipment. So, we have optical voting devices with 256, 512, and 1GB CF
cards for election definitions and voting records. Last month on Alberta
elections we had 5 Kingston 256MB cards failing during the elections. That
was a nightmare. It is interesting that 512 and 1GB cards were ok even with
more writes. In any case, if you do something like this first test some
cards for long period of time. Make some script that will constantly write
and read the card and see when they fail. Goran
Goran,
The filesytem on the CF is mounted read-only (ext2). No writes other than the initial flashing (hopefully). That is why I built in res_config_odbc. It also makes extensive use of ramfs for temp. filesystems. Plus, if you had a 2.5" hd connected, you could use that for writes or a backup. Oh yeh, the Soekris net4801 also has a USB port for a hard drive, etc...
But thanks, I was under the impression that CF cards are okay as long as you don't write to them too often. I will be testing them more now!
