JFFS2 needs to scan through *all* write nodes upon mount. Imagine what happens when you have a giga/terrabyte flash where you write millions/billions of tiny log entries..... it would take *forever* to boot. Also memory consumption is proportional to the # of write operations so that's another trainwrecker. -- Øyvind Harboe Embedded software and hardware consulting services http://www.zylin.com -- Before posting, please read the FAQ: http://ecos.sourceware.org/fom/ecos and search the list archive: http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss
