AND nothing.

I don't want to start a new thread about this, but I've had to move back to 2.2.2 because of the 2-3 min config change time. So are some saying now that the change is to just set RW all the time? I could do this but I believed from others saying over the years that CF cards didn't like this. I'm wondering if USB sticks don't like this either. I know SSD have wear leveling so those probably don't apply.
Anyhow, is this now what must be done to run this normally or has anyone committed to patching this or at least fixing it next release?
Last question, is the broken limiter fixed in 2.2.3?
Thanks.

As far as I remember reading from the changelogs, it is.

Thank you, Robi.
For whatever reason, adblock plus doesn't like the source of the inline image (tinypic.com).

Well, the cards are what PC Engines sells. This: http://www.pcengines.ch/cf2slc.htm
Do you have a recalled card by chance?
http://www.pcengines.ch/cfissue.htmWe don't have any 2G of those, but have several of the 4G version of same and they're all fine.

Hmm, don't think so… Just re-checked a couple of spare ones I have laying around, and they are all "code K" marked. (All of them were ordered at the same time, ~100 of them.)

Could you double check a 'time /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro' (when it's rw mounted) on one of those?
And send a picture of the card?

Could you put that specific card in an ALIX to compare? I think it's more the card than anything to do with how fast the system is.
What's the 'time /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro' from rw like on one of your production systems?

Mere unchecking of the "Keep media mounted read/write at all times." and clicking save took almost two minutes with the browser spinning and waiting for the change to get saved. Subsequent /etc/rc.conf_mount_rw; /etc/rc.conf_mount_ro took 30-45 seconds, tried 5 times and got tired of it.
I seriously don't have anything good to say about causing similar huge regressions on a bugfix release. Can as well get rid of the read-only mounts altogether, because it is plain not usable and breaks tons of stuff. Haven't seen a single complaint about the "harmful" patch for years.
