it hides many of the details of raw NAND from us, like bad blocks, error<br>
correcting codes and in this case wear levelling.<br>
<br>
I have run my mailserver on a 1G USB stick (hooked up to an ARM board I<br>
designed for another customer) for 2 years 24 / 7 now formatted ext3,<br>
that gets pretty hammered, no trouble. So I can't guarantee your<br>
particular card isn't broken for wear levelling, but cheap random USB<br>
stick doesn't care in the least about ext3 and I didn't see any trouble<br>
from SD with ext3 either.<br></blockquote></div><br></div>Trying out ext3 now. :-)<br></div>

However, when I hit ./build , mkimage just displays the command syntax and quits. I am compiling on Ubuntu 8.04. mkimage was not available and based on the recommendation, I installed jigit. <br>
<br>Even as I speak, I am reading the jigit package description and something tells me this is not what I want. <br><br>So which mkimage should I install for the ./build script ?<br></div>
