Which filesystem can live on one flash sector?

Which filesystem can live on one flash sector?

[fred]

Hi,

I am using CRAMFS plus RAMFS on my board.
And there is only one sector left for saving configuration data.
Can I put a file system, e.g. JFFS, on it?

BR,
Fred

You can use ext2 or minix. The just ain't no journaling with only one
erase block, so forget about jffs[12], ext3 and so on.

I'd make another block free and then do some sort of journalling from
userspace (each data block has a header with crc, size, header crc, and
revision). If you flash it boot block flash, the boot block may be the
place to find a couple small free sectors.

NAND and concat

[Christian Gan]

Quick, but possibly loaded question:

Is anyone working on concat for NAND flashes?  I looked though and realised
that there is no functionality at the moment for NAND (i.e. no support for
read/write oob etc).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by concat for NAND. Do you mean being 
able to read/write directly to the char device?

Certainly handling OOB and pages makes things a bit different. Someone wrote 
a nand dumper which maybe does what you want (or can be persuaded :-). The 
yaffs format tool uses the char interface. It needs to expand to load up a 
mkyaffsimage image into flash.

Probably not.

I must admit that I knew nothing about NAND flashes when I wrote the concat 
stuff (and this hasn't improved much in the meantime) :-(.

OTOH, all the concat stuff does is to redirect calls to the hardware drivers, 
so, except for the maintaining of OOB data, what NAND specific functionality 
would be needed ?

RE: NAND and concat

[Christian Gan]

I haven't really given it much thought either, but off the top of my head:

  1.  read_ecc and write_ecc
  2.  read_oob and write_oob

But really, I think this may be OK to do.  Since I need something like this
for my project anyways I can give it a shot and test.  Everything else
should be useable as is.

If anyone can think of anything I should watch out for, advice would be
great.

Sorry Charles, I think the title should have been "NAND and mtdconcat". :)

[PATCH] NAND and mtdconcat

[Christian Gan]

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Hello all,

Attached is a patch for mtdconcat.c that supports NAND functions for the
oob.  I've tested it on my own bench and it seems to work great on two 64MB
NANDs concatenated into one MTD.

Robert, since you were the original author of this file, can you verify it
for me?

Thanks!

Looks OK to me. I can't test it right now as I don't have any suitable HW 
available, but I'll take your word that it works ;-)

One question though, you made changes like this:

all over the place. Why? This might generate slightly more code and be slower 
(not that it would be noticeable though).

Other than that, I have no objections.

Hey all,

Updated patch included with Robert's suggestions.  I agree that either style
is a non-factor in performance, so I might as well use the original style
because it's cleaner.

Thanks!

Christian
