 NOTE: As a safety precaution, FreshTomato will prevent you from performing firmware upgrades if a JFFS partition is mounted/in use. The reason for this is that if you were to disable JFFS and upgrade the FreshTomato firmware, you might lose the contents of the /jffs partition. For this reason, you should do a backup and restore operation to preserve the data there. To learn more about backup and restore of JFFS partition data, see the XXXX page. NOTE: As a safety precaution, FreshTomato will prevent you from performing firmware upgrades if a JFFS partition is mounted/in use.

 **IMPORTANT: **Flash storage is not designed for frequent write operations. Because of this, you should avoid performing frequent write operations to it. For example, avoid storing the logs in JFFS, as this will shorten the life of your router. However, flash memory's limitation is in the number or write operations, but not the number of read operations. Therefore, an Entware installation would be fine. Be aware that your JFFS should be used only if no other storage like USB or a CIFS share is available. **IMPORTANT: **Flash storage is not designed for frequent write operations.
