Yes, a usb stick is one solution but a usb connection it is about the
most mechanically non rubust thing I can think of , unlike the board
itself to this seems to rather knock the robustness of the TS boards
for 6. I'd like to remain onboard is poss.
I believe the commit interval is a ext3 function isn't it, the on
board fs is yaffs2. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
thanks for your suggestions. I will try to find some equiv of commit
interval if that exists on yaffs.
