Probably you have a very good motivation to do work from scratch, but what is sad that instead of joining us and improving UBI/UBIFS stack, you spend your time creating new file-system. Almost nobody is interested in new unscalable solutions, and you really waste your time, because we already have 3 of them, at least. There are so many things to improve in UBI/UBIFS, and there is a possibility to create a scalable UBI2. You may do a lot of exciting things in the area, instead. Please, think about joining us instead :-) -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий) From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Artem Bityutskiy Subject: Re: Request for review: NandFS Date: Fri, 06 Feb 2009 09:50:32 +0200 Message-ID: <498BEBC8.3000302@yandex.ru> References: <200902031327.59536.corentincj@iksaif.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE Cc: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, Gregory CLEMENT , HIBLOT Jean-Jacques To: Corentin Chary Return-path: Received: from smtp.nokia.com ([192.100.122.233]:36078 "EHLO mgw-mx06.nokia.com" rhost-flags-OK-OK-OK-OK) by vger.kernel.org with ESMTP id S1751943AbZBFHux (ORCPT ); Fri, 6 Feb 2009 02:50:53 -0500 In-Reply-To: <200902031327.59536.corentincj@iksaif.net> Sender: linux-fsdevel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Corentin Chary wrote: > Hi, > Here is NandFS, a NAND Flash Filesystem. > NandFS is similar to YAFFS2 (in some ways), but the codebase is much = more > cleaner and simpler.
