I think its actually there because ubifs wasn't around when OLPC needed to make a decision on filesystems. UBIFS hasn't been around that long. > This brings a question - is it possible to replace OFW with something > that could use UBIFS? Say coreboot , or even a bios with grub, > anything will do! No idea, but you can use a small /boot partition with jffs2 (or ext2) which is enough to boot the kernel and then have a ubifs root file system. > If there's no security, if there's little functionality, not field > upgrades etc, it will just be fine as long as it can boot any quicker. > > I just can't keep the boot delays currently experienced with jffs2 Well there's details of what experimentation was done with ubifs on the wiki here http://wiki.laptop.org/go/UBIFS_on_XO http://wiki.laptop.org/go/UBIFS_initial_experiments Peter _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
