I heard of better NOT to use DVDRAN as a harddisk, since it has a limited |
| 6 |
lifetime (limited write cycles) and "normal" filesystems" does not |
| 7 |
care about how often a certain block is written to. |

You can kill a DVDRAM simply by writing too often to its organisation |
| 10 |
data strukture without notice. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
mount a dvdram "normal" and will be killed by simply accessing its |
| 13 |
files via update to the access time data in the inode. |

All this results in my initial posting. |
