I'm using a 512 MB Sandisk Ultra II 24/7 in a home server for about 2
years now. No problems.
I suppose power failures can be a problem with CompactFlash cards (don't

Hello,
I've build an image file with opensoekris for 256 mb sandisk compactflash.
The writing of the image file takes very long (102188 bytes/sec), see the
output below (I interupted it after 20 minutes).
How long should it normally take to write a 256mb to a compactflash card?
For me it takes

[demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/octet-stream which had
a name of dmesg.boot]
Last time I did this, I used the block device, rather than the
character device. Also, I think I used 2KB blocks, instead of 512B.
And then I found it was much faster to build a proper filesystem on
the CF, mount it, populate it with tar/cpio/restore and then do the
installboot.

hi,
With a blocksize of 2048,

256M. You can fit bsd+base+etc+man into 128M if you delete some stuff,

Are you using regular CF
Of course, I don't know if that's a legitimately more durable CF
card, or just marketing.
