There is no reason why we shouldn't put : a filesystem on a flash card. We weren't talking about modern flash cards :-). These flash cards have 10,000 to 100,000 write cycles per page. : A better choice might be the flash disk cards from SanDisk and others, : since they do have an ATA interface and look like a small ATA drive : to the pccard code. Unless the linear flash cards are a LOT less : expensive, there isn't a lot of reason to do all the extra work. That's why I've done support for the ata flash cards, but haven't yet done the linear flash cards. :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
