We are using the compactflash for our windows xp embedded system. We
will have a lot of Registry write/read. Based on Compactflash, they
said there is a limit on write to flash (300,000 write/sector). But we
need once a minute write to the registry. We know we will pretty soon
use up the flash sector.

Before we make any move, we would like to monitor how often the flash
is written.

whenever we write to Registry, will the information be written to
flash right away? or else.

We need some kind of monitor system to monitor this write event to the
flash.

Could anyone give me some suggestion here?

Thank you for your help!

Best Regards,
Gary
 
You can use regmon and diskmon to monitoror things you
are interested in.

Or you should read how EWF (Enhanched Write Filter) works.
This will prevent all write to CF unless you authorize it.

Also,
Use FAT instead of NTFS if you want to minimize write activity.
