Re: [ts-7000] Hardening a TS-5700

[Andrew Bealing <>]

I think one of the main causes of filesystem corruption stems from the
large number, and frequent writing of, temporary files.  Installing a
tempfs filesystem will probably help (google for tempfs if you don't know
about it).

Although slightly off-topic as it's not a 7000 series, hopefully this
is a more generic question.  I would like to know if anyone can point
me to information on how to "harden" a Linux implementation so it can
handle unscheduled power cycles a bit better.  I'm toying with the
idea of trying to tar the entire filesystem and loading it into a
RAMDISK on bootup or trying to migrate to a journalling filesystem.

Since I don't anticipate any changes to the filesystem on a day-to-day
basis (I'll need to write temp files, but there should be no
incremental filesystem changes that I need to keep track of) I don't
have any issues with simply restoring the boot partition on bootup if
it makes things easier.

Before embarking on a quest to figure out how to do either of these
tasks I was hoping to draw upon the wisdom of the group to see if
either path has been followed in the past.  Thanks for any help you
can provide.
