Install Voyage Linux Compact Flash
Posted on by admin
I realize this question comes up every now and then, and have found quite a bit of information regarding the subject. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. A few configuration tweaks I've found:
1. Do not format a swap partition (not a problem, have 4GB of memory for a system that will probably use <256MB.
2. Don't use ext3 as its journaled (so what file system should I use? ext2?)
3. Disable logs (not sure how to do this)
4. I also found this post http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...66#post2768166 (I get the gist of it, but it's 2 years old does it still apply?)
5. Mount filesystem as read only (is this really necessary, and if so how is it done)
In case anyone is wondering, the system is basically going to be a NAS. It will run OpenSSH, ifenslave-2.6, and iscsitarget ONLY (besides a standard system install). I got tired of dealing with FreeNAS and Openfiler, so I played around with creating RAID arrays and ethernet bonding and feel I can do it better myself.
If anyone could answer some of the questions, or provide any more tips for reducing writes to a CF card I'd be much appreciative.
