[ts-7000] Modes of flash "disk" failure....

[Jim Jackson <>]

Hi all,

I'm thinking of using a USB flash disk to hold a normal filesystem on a
network server project (web serving, email serving etc). I'm going to be
factoring out some heavy changing stuff like syslog messages etc, onto
a ramdisk or similar. So far I've only used flash disks/CFDisks etc
in situtations where the writes were controlled and "managed".

I'm curious what diagnostics might indicate when the flash was
wearing out? I'm sort of looking for a periodic "test" that might
give warning of problems arising.

I've also thought about using 2 flash disks in raid mirror mode.
Anybody any thoughts?

Jim
