Fine, it could be great if, apart of working together which would be a pleasure for me, creating a work team for this. I've read the tech. specs. of JFFS2 as David recommended to me, so, we should separate two possible solutions: - use a new node type(s) <- what David likes (& wants AFAIK) - use reiserfs style-storage <- what I have done partially We need also a little road-map and to-do list to know what exactly needs to be done in each code "section" to achieve our goal. Just let me know when do you want to start, I would like to talk with you at #mtd in irc.freenode.org if it's possible. Thanks in advance and for your interest, Cheers. --=20 Lorenzo Hern=E1ndez Garc=EDa-Hierro =20 [1024D/6F2B2DEC] & [2048g/9AE91A22][http://tuxedo-es.org] --=-oXdabHPFCdNrclNd0gQ9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Esta parte del mensaje =?ISO-8859-1?Q?est=E1?= firmada digitalmente -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCHfXKDcEopW8rLewRAsRYAJ9gTixtL8ptnD0a+eBhGmud2310NwCeM4IU 4x/RduRbg/WZf0J9m5mZt9o= =KLiD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-oXdabHPFCdNrclNd0gQ9--
