*shrug*

What if the power fails? It reboots, reloads from flash and re-starts.

What I do is have a separate partition on the device and write a TAR file 
of the files that I need to preserve between boots. No different from 
"copy run start" in a cisco.

I have a 2nd device that is mounted read/write for Voicemail. Less 
critical than the system & configuration device
