Thanks Darryl, We're generally running 2GB cards on all our systems just because it gives us plenty of scope to grow into so borrowing a few megs as a scratch area isn't going to be a problem at all.
I'm starting to like this idea and think I might play around with it a little later today, Cheers for all the advice guys, Rob -----Original Message----- From: Darryl Ross [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 February 2008 09:43 To: Robert Rawlins - Think Blue Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Voyage-linux] RW/RO File System Hi Rob, > Thanks for the suggestion, Using a USB type stick isn't really an > option unfortunately, however, how about I create a small separate > partition on the disk? Could that work? Yes, that will work perfectly. We create a separate on most of our systems that can be used for persistent scratch. The Voyage root file system generally only needs 128Mb, or 256Mb if you leave a tonne of space to grow into, so if you are using 512Mb or larger drives you can partition the drive and have the remainder as your scratch area. (One of the systems we run Voyage on has an 8Gb flash SATA device).
