Our context here is a storage device for an *embedded router*.
You have to strip your file system, you have to be careful and watch
file system writes. It (storage) has to survive unclean shutdowns, heck
it even has to survive a few bumps. I know people abuse their ipods or
whatever is the current faddy mp3 player around, but their is a reason
cisco|juniper|extreme|foundry net devices use flash as their main storage,
and humongous capacity isn't one of them.
How about Knoppix like build -- so the flash drive is simply read only,
the rest of the file system, memory
buffers and others, operate in RAM space....Better than booting off a CD
ROM (no more mechanical parts)
except for the fan that cools the cpu, on the other hand, I had cisco
routers burn up on me because the internal fan failed...
or what that a 3com switch?...whatever...
