--- Comment #4 from Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> ---
NANDFS had heap big time issues, not least was that the groomer was moved i=
nto
the kernel. This normally wouldn't be terrible, but here there were two
problems: locking was all screwed up by it (or was just implemented badly) =
and
it always groomed, even when there was no new traffic, so the groomer slowly
would rewrite the NAND over and over and over again. I wore out a MLC part
while playing with it and tracked the issue down to this... That was in the
FreeBSD 8 or 9 time frame and by FreeBSD 10 it wasn't working at all (even =
with
this patch) and had all kinds of lock order issues because the locking
protocols evolved substantially over time, but no changes were made here.

It's kind of a bummer, but doing a good nandfs takes a lot of time and effo=
rt
and you have to keep up all the time on the latest nand parts / soc offload
engines / etc. And we had none of that.
