Feedback on that now that we have it running and I've optimised JFFS2 a little bit.... it takes 5.9 seconds to mount the 512MiB flash, of which about 5 seconds is actually spent reading the flash, rather than in JFFS2 code. The flash controller on the board is reading the flash at about one tenth of the speed it should be, so our ideal mount time ought to be under two seconds. We're working on improving the raw flash speed, and I'm also going through the JFFS2 'eraseblock summary' code to halve the amount of data we have to read from the flash at mount time, so even with the existing hardware it should go down to 3s or so. I'd like to get it down to ~1s. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
