Subject: Block Device Emulation over UBI
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:57:18 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200801141557.18349.yur@emcraft.com> (raw)
Hello all,
We are about to implement and then maintain a block device driver which is
intended to work on the top of UBI and provide users with the block-device
interface to the underlying Flash chips. The goal of this driver is to
provide users with the possibility to easily organize reliable file storage
in Flash memory chips (especially NAND Flash) using Flash-unaware
file-systems like FAT, EXT2/3, etc (UBI is supposed to provide the necessary
reliability using its features of wear-leveling and bad blocks handling).
In many cases the ability to have the file-system formatted with, for
example, FAT is a highly desirable feature of the embedded devices (e.g. for
exporting the embedded storage via USB link to a Windows-based USB host), so
we guess our work will be usefull for the embedded world.
Any suggestions or comments as to possible issues we may run into on this
road would be very appreciated.
Regards, Yuri
