Well that really sux :-(

Considering they manufacture their own MCU/SoC that would have perfect
drivers on NuttX directly from vendor that also use the RTOS
commercially maybe they do not want to sell their chips or what :\

I had kinda bad experiences with UFS2+J that is UFS2 with Journaling
enabled it never caught all problems the fs was corrupted occasionally
and silently so I disabled that feature. Happily now I have ZFS which
is really amazing solution with snapshots / export / import /
encryption / deduplication / compression as per share and even
protects data on a simple stripe with smart failing +10 years old
disks.. new disks already use ZRAID2 (RAID-5) and the best part is I
am totally free of mainboard raid controller :-)

Is this SmartFS or something else?

Do you know Alan what is the benefit of the SmartSF over LittleFS?
