We know popular modern media has limited write expectancy. The numbers are high and climbing as technology improves, but are nevertheless finite. Why are we habitually wasting them?
Examples:
Every installation, and upgrade, of netcfg, though often as few as 5 bytes, is writing a 4096 byte hostname/HOSTNAME sector (or possibly more) to the media, though no change to it/them has been made.
During every zypper dup, something is writing /etc/fstab, yet, its content matches the backup.
Many files in /etc/sysconfig get written during updating, yet remain unchanged from their backups.
This wastefulness is not common to other distros I have familiarity with. Why is it happening in openSUSE?
I did create a FATE for this. Today it reached 30 months of age. It has a score of 4 and no comments. https://features.opensuse.org/313803
Sorry, I do not believe this is something people should spend time on, something else in your computer will fail before the SSD runs out of write cycles. What you are describing are just insignificant implementation details. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
