Hello guys, this is my first review i hope i wont screw up. I bought a new keyboard and i really liked it. Its quiet and cheap. So i made a video unboxing and reviewing the Logitech K360 Wireless.

I probably should do that, but I'd like to sync it to disk every hour rather than at reboots. The hourly syncs should be dead easy as you'd just kick off an at daemon (like cron, but runs n time from request rather than at n time on the clock) or even just use cron. You'd still need to have a start up daemon to copy the data across and I reckon it would make sense to have it do one last sync on shutdown (which would mean you'd also need some kind of locking to prevent the routine to be running a shutdown sync while a scheduled sync is in operation (easy enough to do - just record a PID to a tmp file). Lastly, you'd also realistically only want to copy changed files otherwise you'd artificially adding your own wear (again, easy to do). So all in all, it wouldn't be too hard to write such a shell script, however I wonder whether you're going to be generating enough wear in those directories to warrant the time and effort in writing a bespoke script.

And what's more, by having such a bespoke set up, you hamper the longevity of your server in terms of upgrading if you don't feel competent enough to code the script yourself (in fact I think Ubuntu is switching over to systemd at some point in the foreseeable future - which would break your script entirely). Long story short, it's an avenue you can take, but I think with all things considered, it's probably not a good idea.

Long story short, it's an avenue you can take, but I think with all things considered, it's probably not a good idea. Yeah, when you put it like that, I'm probably just going to image the drive and replace it when it dies. Dear Adz, Thanks for contacting SanDisk Technical Support.

It is our goal to make sure you have all the resources you need to get the most from your product. For your information, Wear leveling is a standard feature in most consumer flash memory products including this drive and is used to prolong the life of the product. Extreme USB 3.0 drives are intended for retail consumers looking to store and transfer data and SanDisk does not support advanced SSD features such as Trim with this drive. SanDisk recommends the drive be used with Windows or Macintosh operating systems and does not provide technical support for use with Ubuntu.

Write logs and temp files to RAM Open fstab sudo gedit /etc/fstab And add the lines: tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0 Check disk every boot (advised with Flash/SSD drives) Find the correct Ubuntu ext4 partition with sudo blkid And type: sudo tune2fs -c 1 /dev/disk/by-uuid/93ba6. UUID (you only have to type the first numbers and auto-complete with tab) Firefox cache to RAM Open Firefox and type in the address bar: about:config Now type: browser.cache Set: browser.cache.disk.enable = false Right-mouse-click and add integer: browser.cache.memory.capacity = -1 “-1” means Firefox adjust it’s memory usage based on the amount of memory available. Enable specific startup programs sudo sed -i 's/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/.desktop Go to “startup programs” and disable what you don’t use. Remove Product Suggestions (Ubuntu 13.10) gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes 'moresuggestions-amazon.scope', 'moresuggestions-u1ms.scope', 'moresuggestions-populartracks.scope', 'music-musicstore.scope', 'moresuggestions-ebay.scope', 'moresuggestions-ubuntushop.scope', 'moresuggestions-skimlinks.scope' Nice volume icon for Mac Download.icns file here: rename file to:.VolumeIcon.icns (the dot at the start is mandatory and makes the file invisible) And place in the Fat32 partition.
