Well, there is mfs, which is a DOS FAT that has had an unfortunate collision with logged file systems and I regret to say that there were survivors. One could use lfs if it worked since it tries to avoid writes to the same page over and over, which is what kills normal flash cards. Having them available as at least a read only device would be useful. The pccardc interface is a pain to use :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
