Hi there Arduino community!!!
I have been a long time user of Arduino but this is my first time in the forums.
When I bought the Arduino Yun and I read the guide, I noticed something very important:
External storage on the Yún
You're discouraged from using the Yún's built-in non-volatile memory, because it has a limited number of writes.
You can use external memory like a microSD card or thumb drive for saving data, or your own scripts, web pages, etc. For the Yún to access and store information on these drives through the 32U4, they need to have a directory named arduino in the root of the volume.
Basically...
Obviously Linino uses the built-in non-volatile memory to do all of it's magic, shouldn't it be better if we run the whole distribution directly from the microSD card?
Shouldn't we move the mount points?
If so, can it be done?
Or is it enough to slide in the microSD with the arduino folder at the root of it?
The flash memory will wear out but it does take thousands of cycles so it doesn't have to be avoided totally. A program that writes to flash could do this in few hours so you do need to be careful.
Here's how to do everything on the sd card:
