Hello
I'm working on the FSO projects msm port.
So we came across the problem, that we can not install UBIFS rootimages
on the internal NAND of htcdream, nexus-one and other htc devices,
because of the missing subpagesize reading functionality issue.
The only filesystem which accepts only block-size reading is YAFFS2,
but YAFFS2 doesnt implement compression.
So we loose a lot of space on the internal memory, what leads us to the issue,
that SHR-full doesnt fit into internal memory.
I git blamed the driver and found your name in the most of the lines,
so I guess, that this driver is pretty known to you, and you would perhaps have
some tips for us, or even give us a rudimentary patch, which allows expansion.

Thanks in forward and reagards
