Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 18:03:24 +0000 Message-ID: <21916.984679404@redhat.com> Sender: owner-mtd@infradead.org List-ID: Well, it's been almost a week since the latest stupid bug was found in the JFFS2 code, so I suppose it's time to admit to the world that it exists. JFFS2, developed by Red Hat, is a complete reimplementation of a journalling filesystem for FLASH devices, based on the original JFFS from Axis Communications AB. Improvements of JFFS2 over the original JFFS include: - Improved wear levelling and garbage collection performance. - Compression - Improved RAM footprint and response to system memory pressure. - Improved concurrency and support for suspending flash erases - Support for hard links. You can get it from anonymous CVS: cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs login (password: anoncvs) cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.infradead.org:/home/cvs co mtd The only platform currently supported is Linux 2.4. A port to eCos is likely to happen quite soon. JFFS2 filesystem images of the current 'Familiar' distribution for the Compaq iPAQ, along with appropriate kernels, are available at ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/people/dwmw2/familiar-0.3/ -- dwmw2 To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
