Regarding SD card lifespan: I started to use fstrim on the rootfs weekly from cron, but it is too early to judge if that has any beneficial effects on SD card reliability in the Apollo.
Will post again, once I have a record of 2-3 months using it.

Quoting myself...
From my limited testing with my 2 Apollos this definitely help to improve stability a lot. Didn't had to restart a single time since I have the below in /etc/crontab:
Code:
5 0 * * 0 root /usr/bin/ionice -c 3 /sbin/fstrim -v / | logger
This fstrims the SD card once a week and logs the outcome to syslog.
I need this...
My Apollo nº 4 hangs (stop mining) randomly every few days (sometimes 1 or 2 days, max it runs about a week). This also happen to my Apollo nº 3, but less frequentely. Good my Apollos nº 1 and nº 2 runs for weeks. I never need to reflash. To "restart" miner is enough to get it running again.
May you give me some instructions about to add fstrim? Sorry, here a Windows user
