Does it also boots from the SD Card? I also have a 8GB SD Card and Linux was
able to mount and use it. but uboot has some problems reading from the card.
I dont know if this also happens with current uboot versions..

FYI. This card works great in my FreeRunner. I didn't have to
reformat it or anything (perhaps I should).

Hi list,
I got myself a Kingston SDC4/4GB microSD card. While this piece is
working properly in a cardreader connected to a laptop - using it with
the freerunner is impossible due to i/o errors. This includes accessing
filesystemobjects and even the partition table. The errors occur almost

It will depend of the amount and type of activity and size of files.
I like the look of nilfs or logfs,but I'm not sure they are available or
even mature enough.

Hey,
I've got my 8 GB SanDisk microSD SDHC and my mass-production Freerunner
yesterday. Works like a charm (damn, I didn't know these cards are that
small! ;) ). I'll do some benchmarks and post them to the list ASAP. If
you want me to do some special test runs, just let me know!

this is extremely interesting! On the Wiki we should add the max (or
medium) read and write speed I think. This will grant no surprises at
all for anyone buying a listed card

Journaled file systems perform lots of extra writes to the drive. Flash
drives wear out a little quicker (in terms of writes) than other
drives. Putting the two together means you're probably decreasing the
length of your drive's life.
Gotcha, thanks!

By default ext3 only journals metadata, so it shouldn't have much
performance impact for large files.

Cool. If you have time, can you post some performance numbers for it?
