Don't you think that flash drives are also a good solution? I am sure that it will be the future replacement for hard drive disks. see http://www.memtech.com/ for example With no buffer and 1ms access delay you minimise write failures. It is an interresting solution. cheers > -----Message d'origine----- > De : owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org]De la part de Wolfram Huesken > Envoyé : mercredi 14 décembre 2005 02:53 > À : Alexandre DELAY > Cc : freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > Objet : Re: HDD > > > You could mount the filesystem as read-only and use a ramdisk for the > partitions that need write access > like /tmp or /var. > You also would prevent your CF-Card from damage because you cannot > perform unlimited io operations on that card. > > I've already tested this with a kind of embedded appliance that acts as > a router. > > - Wolfram > > Alexandre DELAY wrote: > > >he he! > >nice answer! > > > >The fact is that it is not exactly my question. > >You think it is normal that nowdays we are limited by this hardware??? > > > >hdds are more than 50 years old!! > >It has been invented in 1953 by some guy at IBM. > > > > > > > >>-----Message d'origine----- > >>De : owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > >>[mailto:owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org]De la part de Gayn Winters > >>Envoye : mardi 13 decembre 2005 19:43 > >>A : 'Alexandre DELAY'; freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > >>Objet : RE: HDD > >> > >> > >> > >> > >>>-----Original Message----- > >>>From: owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > >>>[mailto:owner-freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of > >>>Alexandre DELAY > >>>Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 9:39 AM > >>>To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org > >>>Subject: HDD > >>> > >>> > >>>Hi guys, > >>> > >>>I would like to know what you think of hard drive disk running under > >>>FreeBSD.
