It's rather popular flash file system in the embedded world, while it is rather easy to patch a kernel to have yaffs2 support [1] it would be even nicer if it was just in mainline. The source of the GPLv2 file system can be found at [2] [1] http://www.yaffs.net/howto-incorporate-yaffs [2] http://www.aleph1.co.uk/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/yaffs2/
