>From what I read here, what you want is a mapping that provides a block-wise 
interface to the flash.

JFFSx is a file system. That will not do what you want.

What you need is some block-like FTL like NFTL or whatever goes on inside a 
Compact Flash or ATA card. I am not aware of any open source code that will 
do what you want. As far as I can tell all this code is fiercely guarded by 
companies like Sandisk and MSystems.

Maybe someone can be more helpful.....
