Is there any way I can help debug/solve this? Test the fix when it arrives? Scott seems to have some idea what the problem is, and a lot of people have been bitten by it, so I'm hoping for a fix soon(TM). > As for running FreeBSD on the SheevaPlug: I think I will stick with > Ubuntu for now, as I haven't been able to get FreeBSD to recognize the > NAND storage nor the SDIO controller, and FreeBSD doesn't seem to have a > =C2=A0wear-leveling filesystem (or GEOM layer) anyway. Well, it's debatable how necessary a special filesystem is for flash media, although recognising the hardware would be nice I guess :-) Do mmc(4)/sdhci(4) not support the controller? I've seen it suggested that UFS+softupdates is about as good as a conventional filesystem gets for flash media, because it's good at minimising transient writes. -James Butler (please CC me, I'm off-list)
