That depends what definition of "ok" you're looking for.  A tmpfs will

my embedded system has only ide 2GB compact flash for storage and 64MB
of RAM;
the goal is make that system ready for random power-loss (so no normal
shutdown/umount) and maximize flash life (as you know flash-based
devices have limited write cycles)

I think a good solution is:
- noatime
- remove any disk swap partition (or at least setting /proc/sys/vm/
swappiness to zero)
- make boot parition as read-only
- make a rw disk fat32 parition for my own data storage

any better idea?
thanks
