jffs lifespan affected by reads?

[BassKozz]

I know the jffs partition shouldn't be used for a large amount of writes because it will cause wear on the flash memory, but do reads affect the flash memory's lifetime?

I have a 3.4K script in the jffs partition that runs every minute (via cron). Since this script gets called every minute of every day, I know those reads can add up. My question is, should I be worried about that?

I suppose I can have the init-start script copy my script that gets called every minute to /tmp (ram) and run it from there, but I don't know if I should be worried about it or not.

Thanks in advance,

Everything I've read about it seems to confirm it's more or less like the memory in a USB flash drive or SSDs, ie, limited writes but virtually unlimited reads. See Merlin's take on it here: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/JFFS

Reading is safe. The whole firmware is running from that same flash anyway.
