The device's mass storage is a Disk-on-Module solid state flash drive. Data is presently written at approx 100 bytes every 30 seconds but that might change to 100 bytes every second. The device has a watchdog (recently activated) and during today's session it was triggered and wiped out my file system. Anybody have recommendations on which file system to use and the appropriate settings? Anybody have suggested readings so I can educate myself? Thank you. David
