Thus far, JFFS3 is on its design stage. There are a lot of interesting ideas and proposals (including xattr) exist. I'm trying to summarize them and to keep track of them in the "JFFS2 design issues" document which one might find either on the MTD Web page or in CVS (fs/jffs3/JFFS3design.tex). I'm trying to keep track of good offers there. I'm limited in time but I'm doing my best. The JFFS3 stuff which you may find in MTD CVS is merely the test platform where one could try new features. > > > Thanks and appreciate your help. > > -Anil > > > ______________________________________________________ > Linux MTD discussion mailing list > http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/ > -- Best Regards, Artem B.
