Subject: mtd, mtdblock and nand ecc.
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2004 21:37:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <407CC018.3030505@avtrex.com> (raw)

Is there some reason that the mtd and mtdblock drivers do not use ECC 
when the backing device is nand with ECC enabled?

I guess that kind of sums up my question.

If the answer is no, I am thinking of patching them so that they do use 
ECC when available.

I suppose you could run into problems if the backing device were a 
concatenation of ECC and non-ECC devices, but that could probably be 
detected either on open or at each page read/write.

Thanks in advance,

David Daney.
