	Sorry to reply to my own post, but there seems to have been some 
confusion in what I said here.  To completely clear it up, Astlinux only 
writes to flash in these circumstances:

1)  You update the configs.

2)  You update AstLinux.

3)  You are using voicemail and people leave voicemail. (most flash 
seems to last "long enough" given typical voicemail usage patterns)

4)  If you have the PERSISTLOG option enabled, I will save syslogs to 
flash (not RAM - the default).  Users are warned about this, and it is 
not the default.

5)  astdb is stored in flash, so depending on your needs, SIP 
registrations and/or dundi keys may get written here periodically.  I 
might make an option similar to PERSISTLOG to disable this.

	Also, you have the option of using a hard drive or alternate flash 
device for ALL writes.  Boot from flash, run from HD.  Do whatever works 
best for you and your application.
