Probably you have a very good motivation to do work from scratch, but what is sad that instead of joining us and improving UBI/UBIFS stack, you spend your time creating new file-system. Almost nobody is interested in new unscalable solutions, and you really waste your time, because we already have 3 of them, at least. There are so many things to improve in UBI/UBIFS, and there is a possibility to create a scalable UBI2. You may do a lot of exciting things in the area, instead. Please, think about joining us instead :-) -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Артём Битюцкий)
