OK, so there are definitely problems with cheap SD card power cut tolerance. That's not news. But that doesn't mean block2mtd + JFFS2 is a good solution. In fact, when I add 'jffs2' to your Google search query of 'raspberry pi corrupt sd card', the only mentions I see are those who agree that this is not the right choice. But anyway, we can look at supporting block2mtd (since you provided the patches), even if we don't agree how it should be used. And in fact, I might argue there are no good (production) uses for block2mtd, so I suppose I don't have much stake in it :) Brian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
