You could mount the filesystem as read-only and use a ramdisk for the partitions that need write access
like /tmp or /var.
You also would prevent your CF-Card from damage because you cannot perform unlimited io operations on that card.

I've already tested this with a kind of embedded appliance that acts as a router.

Hi guys,

I would like to know what you think of hard drive disk running under
FreeBSD. The fact is that it is quite difficult to keep it working with "hard power off". I added a small fsck_enable="YES" in my rc.conf
file,
but my system keeps have some trouble when the power fails.

Is there a way to make FreeBSD running very well with power failure?
I thought of Compact flash cards as system disk. Do you think it would make the system more stable with power failure?
Use a UPS.
