Maybe both projects can benefit from each others. > Hi Richard, Yes, mostly. It's different from MTD, in that all flash is exposed through a linear address space, from which the FTL is layered on top. This allows the device to still do some work, such as ECC, RAID, etc. if it choose to, but also allows the host to do it. I think UBI could be a good choice for maintaining each of the flash "partitions" as there's a lot of small subtle details that have to be taken care of. - Matias -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
