Hi all,
I was just wondering if it is wise to install EFW on a CF card instead
of a normal (or 2.5") harddrive. The major disadvantage of CF must be
the limited write cycles it can handle before failure. I'm no *nux
expert so I don't know how much writing is done under normal operating
conditions. I would imagine removing the swap partition is a big 'write
saver', but there is a risk of getting out of memory.
I'm not expecting this would support all the great features EFW has to
offer like transparent http proxy, and so on, my goal is more to build
a silent router for my home situation. Al I rely want to do is use it as
an email proxy (virus and spam) and openvpn so I can login easely from
everywere. I have bought a Via C3 533 MHz mini ITX board with a case
that supports an extra pci device.
If this works good enough for me at home I'm planning of distributing
similar 'routers' to my clients , although with newer Via boards
ofcourse, with the intention of running more features of EFW.
So my question realy is if there is anyone out there who had tried this
on a CF card? Or do you have other suggestions for me?
Thanks,
Diederik.
