Aug 04 13:28:54 <mlh> anyone else use puppy for connecting to a topfield?
Aug 04 13:29:05 <mlh> puppy -c dir works for me
Aug 04 13:29:31 <mlh> but 'get' results in: "ERROR: Device reports Invalid command"
Aug 04 17:31:10 <le-lemurien> hey there
Aug 04 17:33:32 <le-lemurien> i'm wondering about something i might try... i run a disk based openslug, and i'm thinking about setting up swap space on a flash drive. that would be terrible from the flash wear out point of view, but wouldn't it give a constantly swapping slug a nice boost?
Aug 04 17:37:29 <mwester> le-lemurien: Compared to what?  Swapping to disk is usually faster than to a flash device, so adding swap on a flash would just slow things down *and* wear out the flash...
Aug 04 17:38:21 <le-lemurien> duh
Aug 04 18:26:27 <CIA-6> 03marcusb * r58 10debian/ixp400-accesslib/trunk/ixp400-accesslib/debian/ (ixp400.modprobe rules): Include modprobe configuration file.
Aug 04 18:39:29 <le-lemurien> isn't flash supposed to be faster than mechanical hard drives?
Aug 04 18:39:48 <le-lemurien> my slug with swap set up on flash seems actually slower than before
Aug 04 18:47:56 <le-lemurien> hmm... no, can't really tell the difference right now. 
Aug 04 18:57:35 <eFfeM-away> le-lemurien: do some real benchmarking, i think there is info on the wiki
Aug 04 18:57:50 <eFfeM-away> flash is faster in reading, but I expect it to be slower in writing
Aug 04 19:40:39 <le-lemurien> my isp'sa pain tonight.
Aug 04 19:43:03 <le-lemurien> if anyone cares, setting up swap on a flash drive has at least reached one goal: my slug now barely accesses the hard drive (especially while running linux). it now produces much less noise. still i have no idea how long the flash drive will last, serving swap for the amule daemon 24/7
Aug 04 19:43:30 <le-lemurien> duh... i meant "especially when running amule"
Aug 04 19:45:15 <le-lemurien> also, the hard drive enclosure doesn't get as warm as it used to.
Aug 04 19:45:32 <le-lemurien> that thing was a toaster.
Aug 04 19:47:11 <caplink811_log_> but on the other hand, your flash drive will gone after ~100000 write cycles
Aug 04 19:47:56 <le-lemurien> yupp
Aug 04 19:48:25 <le-lemurien> i'm curious about how long it will take on my system.
Aug 04 19:49:37 <le-lemurien> depending on the time it takes to wear out, i will consider it affordable or not... 256mb flash drives get so cheap these days...
Aug 04 19:54:31 <caplink811_log_> sure..
