Could you please give some information on the use cases for this file system. Is it another flash file system or optimized for block devices? What do you think are the primary use cases? Do you see it as a general purpose file system like ext3 or targetted at some specific niche? Is it supposed to be production ready eventually or more intended for research? Does it avoid the long mount time problem the other Linux log file system have? Thanks, -Andi
