Is NAND flash supported by the character device? 3) Can the filesystem be limited to using only part of a device? For example, can I write a compressed image to a well-known area in flash (that the boot is aware of) and prevent the fs from using this? Does this apply to both NOR and NAND flash? 4) How are different blocks/sectors within a device accessed by the character device? Do I use different device minors or do I seek to an address?
