(Check the mtd list archives or web pages for more info on UBI) Thank you for the reply. Then, is there any technical reason that translation layer for bare NAND flash memory is *not* exist? (NFTL is not for base flash memory but for DiskOnChip) (I prefer to use translation layer in MTD because UBI is still experimental and is not included stable kernel tree.) If something wrong, let me know. Thank you in advance. -- Seongsu's blog - http://www.senux.com/ The human race never solves any of its problems. It merely outlives them. -- David Gerrold
