There is a plugin to optimize the flash memory of my 7025?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings

cf-boot (systemplugins I think). Let's you use a CF card as root, roughly halving the boot time and letting you have a gigabyte space.

Milo, thank you for responding, because I frequently crashlog and I think that may depend on the flash memory of the little I've heard of the possibility of using a CF card. Could you show me a guide or suggest me how to use the CF card.

Hello,
I hope this is the right thread (the quote below is my main lead)...
I'm trying to use cfboot, but I fail allready during initialization of cf. Can it be the size of my cf that messe things up?
I tried finding a smaller on dealers close by, but without success.

I have 4GB cf, maybe it is to large?cf-boot (systemplugins I think). Let's you use a CF card as root, roughly halving the boot time and letting you have a gigabyte space.

What's the error you get?
In order to be usable, it must be formatted with an ext2/3 filesystem. I guess it's still FAT or so, which cannot be used to boot from. Just let the box format it, and it should be okay.

OK, so there is no known limitation on size for cf.
The cf is new, so i suppose its FAT, but not sure, since dont have oyther reader to see the status.
I'm not really getting any error, but the initialization/formating doesn't really return (or end), I'm not sure if I should see some message when it's done, but I've waited for 30 minutes before I tried running cfboot. I tried with ps to see if any process that could be formating it hangs or still running but i cant find anything there either. Do you know what process I should look for? Or maybe I can try trigger it manually, just to see that its not that failing...
Hmm, I see now that the copying has started... maybe I just didnt wait long enough for the formating to complete... cfboot now tells me to reboot :-)
Anyway, I look forward using cfboot.
Thanks for your time and efforts on Pli and this forum!

I'm afraid I need to find a memory card reader and do the same myself.
I got cfboot working, but this morning I found the box had hanged. only power reset could bring it back.
After it came up again, I see the following entries in dmesg (only those 253 entries):
stv0299: stv0299_read_status : FE_READ_STATUS : VSTATUS: 0x99
stv0299: stv0299_read_status : FE_READ_STATUS : VSTATUS: 0x99
Has anybody else seen those?
I still suspect initialization failed, but I need to try formating on a linux box and see that those messages dissapear.
Or maybe you guys can help me on how to do this from cli? maybe I get some better output from the initialization procedure?
