List-Id: Linux MTD discussion mailing list List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Hi there, I have an application which may need to write states frequently to my nand-fs in order to have these states in case of powerdown. But I'm a bit concerned about wearing the nand if I write to frequently. So, if I only need to write, say, 100 bytes every second, how often will this actually be flushed to the nand? Is there a maximum commit/flush frequency built in the driver? Or can this be configured? I know this is a very diffuse question, but hopefully you get my drift. BR, Martin Egholm
