From df36ac1bc2a166eef90785d584e4cfed6f52bd32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luck, Tony" Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2013 15:17:10 -0800 Subject: pstore: Don't allow high traffic options on fragile devices Some pstore backing devices use on board flash as persistent storage. These have limited numbers of write cycles so it is a poor idea to use them from high frequency operations.
