That's not been my experience with the original Pis. We ended up mounting cards as read only because they wouldn't last otherwise. Syslog and various other processes, even with light IO would render the cards useless after a month or two.
- daneel_w 4y agoAlso: a lot of OS distributions aimed at SBCs with microSD storage forgetting to set noatime/relatime on their file systems, to avoid thousands upon thousands of writes for access time updates whenever files are read. It's only just recently that OS vendors finally woke up and realized what was going on.
- megous 4y agorelatime is default option since forever. (certainly since before rpi was even a thing) https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v2.6.30/source/fs/namespace.c#L1936 https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v2.6.30/source/fs/namespace... (some random old kernel)
- daneel_w 4y agoThat's good info and news to me. "relatime" is unfortunately a silent killer as well, albeit nowhere near as intense as "strictatime".
- mrb 4y agoWere they high-endurance SD cards? In my experience, people usually aren't aware there is a difference between standard and high-endurance SD cards. The former should last years on a light I/O raspberry pi workload.
- Dylan16807 4y agoOkay, so don't use 90% of SD cards.
