I have one pi that I run basically 'everything' in ramdisk, although that of course loses you the syslogs if you need them for forensics after a crash or the like. One thing you might think about is stashing your NOAA files to disk periodically (couple times a day) and restoring them, as they take a long time to regenerate as you get more and more data. The other stuff will regenerate quickly on firstboot of course. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
