if anyone is interested, i found it in /etc/init.d/bwmon_gargoyle. the write interval is controlled by this line:

echo "0 0,4,8,12,16,20 * * * $backup_script" >> "$tmp_cron"

Hi!

If we want to increase the internal flash lifetime, how much time could be the recommended write interval? The default is 4 hour. Does it any improve it to let's say 24 hour at all?

But I guess then the ramdisk could get fill if it's not written in adequate time, isn't it? On other hand the amount of written data maybe doesn't change, because if rarer writes, then it's bigger file size needs be written.

Can be the write disabled at all? For example if someone doesn't need the bandwidth to see earlier then what it's in ramdisk.
