Re: [Bug-gnupod] Gnupod documentation should include warning about mounting with "sync" option for flash-based iPods

[Adrian Ulrich]

Hi,

> I also learned that flash drives have limited lifetimes,

Flash memory can handle about 10k (low cost) up to 10 million write
cycles and i doubt that you'r iPod broke because you reached this limit:

If your Flash memory gets bad, it will start to return IO/Errors if you
try to write to the bad sectors.. but the iPod itself should still work.


Anyway.. i'll add a note about the 'sync' option.

Regards,
 Adrian
