I hope those figures are not correct as that could trash the CF card in no time. I have just about finished hacking/building a bandwith loging system for all clients connected to the node either via Autoauth or via Spashd. To do this I needed some storage space on the meshbox whereas to spool some of the cache files and temporary stuff. The simple way was to create my own ramdrive and put all the data in there. OK if the box goes down I loose up to 15minutes of data but that's really not to much of an issue. Saves blowing away a CF :) Now for a lot of the CFG files I could see no reason why a similar system could not be build whereas a ramdrive was created in order to hous the data that is regularly read and written. Not only that I was contemplating having other iterms and configs pulled from the network. Once the box is up and meshed I could see no reason why you could not have larger executable applications sitting on a central box with a hard drive then mount that drive and execute the application from there.
