Oh NO, here we go again<br><br>children children, behave!<br><br>I think you'll find the EEEPC is actually quite groundbreaking in its design, specifically to be low power - 7 watts, as opposed to 40 watts for the average laptop, & with Pupeee installed, we are not experiencing any problems with the CF devices, using either fat32 or e2fs, & which are predicted to have lives extending to 25 years, way more than the average hard drive, even with ntfs on it !<br><br>Aitch<br>------------------------------------<br><br>> To: kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> Subject: Re: [Klug-general] Is the worm slowly turning?<br>> Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 11:24:33 -0400<br>> From: karl@qdh.org.uk<br>> <br>> <br>> >> In itself SSD is specialist and requires a file system that does write<br>> >> minimilisation and ware leveling, neither of which are available in<br>> > either<br>> >> of microsofts file system formats.<br>> >><br>> > <br>> > I think you'll find FAT32 is a perfectly well suited filesystem for SSDs.<br>> > <br>> <br>> You want to tell me something I say is complete rubbish and you come out<br>> with that. <br>> <br>> Just because fat32 removes files by their inode indicator rather than by<br>> actually erasing the file does not constitute ware leveling. Just wait<br>> until your MFTs/FATs run out of write capacity. Nevermind the fact that<br>> windows itself has no way of write minimilisation in the OS, and the file<br>> system implementation doesn't cache and wait to write. File system read<br>> writes are regular in windows, just watch what happens when you leave a<br>> windows box turned on, that light ticks every once in a while 'just<br>> because'.<br>> <br>> Also, everyone I know considers eeepc to be pretty specialised... It was<br>> designed especially to be the eeepc, it isn't off the shelf, its a low<br>> power machine, windows is designed to run on modern hardware. So don't even<br>> start to argue. I can't be arsed with you. <br>> <br>> K,<br>> <br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Kent mailing list<br>> Kent@mailman.lug.org.uk<br>> https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/kent<br><br /><hr />Miss your Messenger buddies when on-the-go? <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/msnnkmgl0010000001ukm/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get Messenger on your Mobile!</a></body>
