Some people developing newer flash filesystems (UBIFS, Logfs,
FAT-over-UBI :-) and interested in flash filesystem performance might
be interested in this slashdot comment:

    http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=569439&cid=23618215

They're implying that UBIFS and Logfs aren't suitable for high
performance writes and/or large flash, and don't work well with up and
coming flash disks either.

Also that patents may get in the way.

I've never heard of MFT before.
