This issue is a bit controversial: some are convinced that CF cards are
far beyond that stage these days, but I saw an Apacer card - definitley
not a cheapo -  slowly but steadily go down the drain only this year.
Room for debate, of which this list has probably seen enough (on this
topic, I mean..;).

I run OpenBSD with an MFS partition mounted onto /var, and it works
perfectly for me. I wrote a shell script which I more or less published
(= announced on the OpenBSD misc list) about a year ago, maybe someone
would like to adapt it for Linux:

(There's a bl**** nice review as well;)
