Re: [debian] choice of root filesystem type?
Are there other fs types that are more suitable, and work with debian? the supposed wear of ext3 is caused by the journalling imo -- since journalling is, what you are after, there's nothing else. otoh there where a while ago some postings regarding the wear, and most were in favour of ext3, since the wear is not that heavy (still leaving a life expectancy of years). one eyewitness, though, reported instant corruption. if you're booting from sd, you need to manipulate the boot env, to use ext3 -- if not, it's purely a matter of fstab and tune2fs ... ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[debian] choice of root filesystem type?
Hello, Currently I run ext2 on my debian root, but its annoying in that when the phone looses power, the fs is quite often corrupt. What about ext3? I've read that a journaling fs will lower the life expectancy of the sd card, but how much? If I need to buy a new sd card every couple of months, thats no big issue.

I'm running ext3 on SD for FSO and SHR and it's survived 2months. I've got systems running ext3 on CF with reasonably heavy disk access and uptime now 3 years, so I'm not expecting the SD to fail any time soon. I'm more likely to replace it because I want a bigger card than because it's worn out. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

For the future I'd keep an eye on btrfs, it has an ssd mount option amongst other things (including checksumming your data on disk, snapshots, etc). -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
