Hi,
We are building an embedded system using the Redhat 4.2 release. There is no console and no provision for alerting the system of impending shutdown. The target environment will have, typically, no power outages. However, the processor card may be extracted from the card cage, killing the system without warning.
The system files are installed on a flash device, and the majority of the data files are read-only. So far, the only file system errors resulting from improper shutdown have been on the partition where system logs are stored.
Is there any way to completely disable the system logs? Is there any way to log to ramdisk, so that corruption does not exist on restart? Better yet, is there some recovery scheme that does not require console intervention? (apparently the file system check will not run unattended)
thanks, michael
