Hi,

I have to setup an embedded Linux box that uses 1MB of battery buffered
SRAM to store nonvolatile data.
This memory is directly mapped into ma addressspace and needs no magic
things to read or write to it.

What might be the best choice for a filesystem for this memory and is it
possible to setup file access with MTD.
With other words: Is MTD able to access normal RAM devices (no FLASH,
but SRAM) ?

Are there other ways to setup a filesystem in a SRAM ?

Matthias
