Current status of UBI

Current status of UBI

[Jacky Lam]

Dear all,

    Currently, I am searching for alternative of NFTL.
I am happy to see that UBI is actively developin.
Could someone tell me the status of UBI? It is usable
now?

    Also, NFTL seems only support flash with page size
512 only? Is it correctly? Any way to work around
that?

    Thanks very much.

Yours,

Fai

It is usable, and it is merged to mainline. It is used in production by
some people. We develop a new file-system on top of it
(http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/dedekind/new-ubifs-2.6.git;a=summary)

I also quite quickly fix it when I get a bugreport, so it is maintained.

But make sure you understand that UBI is _NOT_ FTL. If you dig FAQ
(which is partially outdated, but still), you will find explanation why.

Yes, ubifs is still being developed.
