**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jun 13 02:59:56 2010 Jun 13 06:13:01 [00:27:12] does mmc/sd rootfs need to be formatted as ext2/3? Jun 13 06:13:07 i think to be safest ext2 Jun 13 06:13:23 at least in the first partition (as per my howto) Jun 13 06:13:42 but the others can be etx3 even ex4 or reiserfs etc Jun 13 06:13:57 again as per my howto Jun 13 10:18:16 jzaw_pl: i think they say that a journaling filesystem is a bad idea for an SD card. much more write accesses that the SD card probably cannot handle properly Jun 13 10:19:00 ah sd card yes Jun 13 10:19:11 i set up esata so was thinking more of that Jun 13 10:19:17 youre right tilman ^^^^ Jun 13 10:19:35 i haven't found any decent information about what's the awesomest fs is to use for SD :| Jun 13 10:19:38 also theres settings like noatime and others that reduce the writes to an sd card Jun 13 10:19:51 yes Jun 13 10:20:04 also http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Reduce_Flash_Writes Jun 13 10:20:23 well basically i think mostly sd cards are mounted ro and have the changes written out to them on shutdown or on specific instruction Jun 13 10:20:51 there's this "hybrid root" approach Jun 13 10:20:57 sd + unionfs or somesuch Jun 13 10:21:36 personally id try for either an ssd hd or one of those tiny 1" ibm harddrives Jun 13 10:21:49 though i also think there are some sd cards that work like ssd's Jun 13 10:21:54 a new idea Jun 13 10:31:38 lol something like this would fit inside the sheeva Jun 13 10:31:38 http://www.boredstop.com/imgp/smallhd.jpg Jun 13 10:31:54 remove the psu ... connect an external one and youve got plenty of space inside Jun 13 10:36:57 http://www.borntechie.com/entry/ultra-thin-power-efficient-ssd-memory-device-in-development-phase/ Jun 13 11:12:28 jzaw_pl: i already have it running with an external PSU, but i wanted to use the extra space for a heatsink/something to cool the sucker down :) Jun 13 11:13:38 aye the heat is bad Jun 13 11:24:18 probably old news, but: http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1735.msg11086#msg11086 Jun 13 11:24:36 not sure if i should be angry now because i alread decided to fix it myself ;) Jun 14 02:01:13 what options are there for plugs with esata? Jun 14 02:01:20 i guess i just need to wait Jun 14 02:01:28 a 2ghz armada is too tempting to pass up Jun 14 02:01:37 and guruplug's overheating power supply is a total non-starter Jun 14 02:03:55 damned plug 3.0 wass announced in january. i know its par for the course that its still not released, but i am one impatient mother-fscker **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jun 14 02:59:57 2010
