To give you an idea, I have a 24/7 server here, with a 4GB rootfs
(ext4, no journal), including /var/log, and gets
yum updated reasonably regularly. It was created in May 2011, and has since then seen a
grand total of 31GB of
writes, according to dumpe2fs. If it were on flash media, that would be about 8 full
overwrites. 2992 remaining. Or
to put it another way, it has used up about 0.26% of it's life expectancy so far over
20 months. I would worry far
more about silent bit-rot on traditional RAID mechanical disks.
you really do not need to give me an idea :-)
