And my response was: NTFS was nice to see, but without a flash file-system, we will probably need a harddisk, since we do a lot of writes on the meta-data in the file system, and a flash with FAT would wear out several times a day. Linux 2.4 has a Flash file system that minimizes writes so that our system wouldn't wear out the flash memory in several years. --- NT Embedded supports this - it's sometimes known as "wear-leveling". It's independent of the file system, so it works with both FAT and NTFS. - Eric
