[Voyage-linux] Understanding the RO File System

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Hello Chaps,

 

I've been using Voyage for a fair while now, however, ever since I first
started using it I've always made a habit of removing the RO file system
from the box, this just made my life simpler whilst I was learning my way
around things.

 

Now, every now and then I've had compact flash cards go a bit 'funny' on
with corrupt and dead sectors, and I'm suspecting that this is down to me
writing the disks so regularly. So I think it may be time to look at moving
onto using the FS properly and keep the RO stuff in place once the box has
been built.

 

I need a little help understanding how the read only stuff works, and your
recommendations on the best way for me to have it working. I basically run 1
application on my system which writes a few files to the FS. Where do I
write the files I want to stay permanent on the disk? And how much storage
space do I have available to me? Do I have any way to increase this allotted
space? What happens if it fills up?

 

Thanks for any help you can offer guys, I'm hoping this will make my disks
feel a little less abused :-D

 

Rob
