Good morning,
I am writing a sh script that will be executed inside a RUT956 device. The script is composed of a first process responsible of reading the gps coordinates every second and write them to a specific file and a second process responsible of periodically removing the data from that file and send it to a remote server.
My question is: can writing every second to the internal flash memory of the router be harmful? Should it be better to add a dedicated external usb storage device?
Hi @federico.caroli,
I would definitely suggest you use an external USB storage (like a micro USB stick)
because writing every second means 86,400 writes per day additionally to what the
OS writes (which shouldn’t be that much).
AND you can swap the external device once it starts to fail but you can’t swap the
internal flash
