       @kzimmermann much of the memory resident in ram is not used much at all, so it makes sense for linux to keep more cached disk/filesystems contents in ram instead. On many desktop systems I have noticed almost half a gigabyte of data remaining in swap even, when there is absolutely no memory pressure (after eg. linking webkit, which pushes things to swap very effectively).

       @mike maybe set -e so that it stops on error, if that works on ksh, I also use -u by default.System could crash in whatever way while archiving. Someone would maybe create an archive dir and move things there, tar to a temporary file, move temporary archive file to a final name and remove the archive dir.

       @mike afaik they have not released kernel sources yet and this is a new SoC from former spreadtrum, I wouldn't buy without first having some idea, how is the software support going to be like. This is second hand info though, but applying pressure on this would maybe help. Also  I am not sure I saw anything about device not being locked down.though obviously by raw hardware specs this device looks nice akin to vaporous rk3588, maybe spreadtrum could be yet another rockchip.
