I think it is also the case that flash cards write pretty slowly, and there is a finite buffer of pending writes. Your unexpected write failure may be because you're writing too fast. Depending on the driver and access mode, the writes might throw this error rather than block your process.
You might also contemplate what this mode of write does to the ACID characteristic of the database - bits that are written to the card may not actually get to permanant storage if the card loses power. PS: I'm no expert on this - it's just surmise from general knowlege of flash cards and operating systems. Someone who actually writes flash drivers would be a better source. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
