When I noticed that the CF had a limited (although large) 
number of re-writes. I wasn't so concerned with the swap 
area. I was wondering about i-nodes (forgive my lack of 
terminology) that might frequently get updated. Like with a 
time stamp change on the log files. That same i-node would 
get re-written quite often.

Any thoughts?

Should we periodically shift all our partitions to change 
the location of the i-nodes?

ps. I probably don't have the right term (i-node) for what 
I'm talking about.--------
