going to be shipped with logging and journaling disabled (so that the<br>
storage isn't constantly being written to)? I'm asking because this is<br>
pretty much a necessity for an OS running on NAND or an SD card if you<br>
don't want to have to constantly buy new SD cards because the previous<br>
one reached its write limit.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>NAND wear is probably more linked to age than number of writes. NAND has more faults than harddisk. The trick is ECC and headroom and mapping for faulted sectors.<br></div><div><br></div><div>The biggest issue is boot fixed read addresses.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Ditto for swap, but given the small amount of NAND on the A20 card, I'm<br>
sure not having swap is a given anyway. ;)<br>
