It's not rocket science however, so if you sit down and read a couple of flash-chip data-sheets carefully and think about the restrictions and limitations, it shouldn't be too hard to come up with a good design. You can do most of the work in userland in a simulation, and once you have the read/write/erase ratio where you want it, migrate the result to the kernel. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
