I have tried to kill a CF for years. For more than a year it was running spamd with the most verbose logging possible and lots of other read/writes the system could live without. It is still going. I suggest that you use CF and when upgrade time comes around you program a new one and then have a halt-swap-reboot event and send me the one you don't think has much life left. I'll try wearing it out for you. My clients have lost more hard drives last year (3) than CFs in my lifetime (0) and I've been using them since they were exorbitantly priced. Some of that is good luck but they sure are not easily worn out. *** NOTE *** Please DO NOT CC me. I <am> subscribed to the list.
