Well, Thomasz was talking not about the transport I believe. If you have a raw flash access via SATA or USB, then this is handled on the driver level and does not any require FS support. JFFS2 or UBIFS may also work with such a device, because it is just raw flash. But I know that you know that most of the FTL-enabled stuff does not give use raw flash access. -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий)
