Magic Banana,
it is valid to question any test setup :)
Right now I hit the 500th writing cycle without issues. We are approaching
the 0.5 TB border.
Anyone who is in doubt about the approach the script now works is free to add
another write cycle from /dev/zero to wipe the filesystem on
Great to hear you solved it. Someone (may be me :-) should sum up the
modification necessary to run Trisquel stable from flash-based media in the
wiki.
Chris,
it seems logical to me that someone would not use any Flash-based storage for
heavy random write-access.
I do not think that the interface (USB vs. SATA vs. IDE) plays a big part
here. A CF card inside a USB card reader will have a different lifespan
compared to the CF card in a

OK, I have found my first delinquent for the test. A 1GB USB stick I once
received during a Red Hat event. The device itself is listed as:
ID 0204:6025 Chipsbank Microelectronics Co., Ltd CBM2080 Flash drive
controller
I hacked together a cruel bash script which writes roughly 940 MB data
@apvp: The behaviour of your installation is quite strange though. You should
check out your system logs (dmesg, Xorg.0.log, etc).
@Chris: I disagree on this one. I have been using a 4 GB CF card in my
Shuttle barebore for over a year running vanilla Debian 6.0 with the

@Chris: I disagree on this one. I have been using a 4 GB CF card in my
Shuttle barebore for over a year running vanilla Debian 6.0 with the
modifications described above which will mostly limit unnecessary write
access to the media itself. The CF card still runs fine.

@malberts: Thanks for posting this !
It essentially supports my experiences from running Debian via a 4GB CF card
and an IDE2CF adapter. Mind you ! It is still possible to screw up a CF card
in a minimal amount of time. Our apprentice at work had a small Via Eden
system running IPFire from
Normally most Flash devices I know (SD Card, Micro SD Card, USB Stick, CF
Card in Reader) will behave like a usual HDD. Of course you have much lower
writing speed but when using the Trisquel you will not notice anything. I run
Trisquel 5.5 from a 16GB USB stick without issues.
