Some aspects of flash don't fit into block devices - e.g. erase block and write order requirements. That's MTD stuff, not appropriate here. But SSDs present a block device interface, and they still have alignment characteristics for performance. Even more important, when combining multiple SSDs into a RAID. -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
