Poul-Henning, I got your point. I'll put together a summary of today's discussions and a couple of ideas I have to define a list of requirements and give a direction to the design. I've worked on a (simplistic) Flash file system in the past and will include this experience too. I'll copy you on tyhe doc to raise a red flag in case I head in a bad direction ;-) Cheers Olivier > > Paul, you clearly understand the constraints of Flash, but it also > seems to me that you have never given any thought to how a filesystem > could benefit from knowing these and in doing so, help how to > mitigate the issues. > > I wish I could be more specific to guide you and others onto the > right track here, but for now I will have to reiterate: Tailor > the filesystem to flash devices, there are so many benefits to > be had that way. > > -- > 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. > -- Olivier Gautherot olivier@gautherot.net Tel: +56 8 730 9361
