[Soekris] flash wear with FreeBSD fifolog

[Mike Tancsa]

I am working on our next rev of nanobsd and was looking to 
incorporate FreeBSD's fifolog program for more persistent logging. It 
seems to take care not to write out to flash too often so as to 
reduce wear.  With modern day flashes, (I am using SanDisks), what 
can I expect in terms of lifetime ?  Also, if I create a partition 
just for the logs, and lets say I wear out part of the flash, will 
there be any impact to my OS partition which is read only ?
