Hi, I am running vim (also) on a Gentoo Linux on this little thing of board: http://www.acmesystems.it/arietta
Since there is no harddisc but only a sdcard -- and flash memeory has a limited amount of write cycles -- I want to eliminated unneccary writes to the sdcard. One source of unessary writes are -- in some cases -- the backup- and swap-files vim generates. When will these types of file be open while starting vim? Or in other words: Is it early enough to do a :set noswapfile | set nobackup right after loading an existing file (which is more then 0 bytes long) to prevent creating of any additional file? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
