Can you suggest what changes have to be done to have >4K writepage size. >From what i looked, it doesnt seem straight forward. I think the 4K writepage size restriction is because the flash device is memory mapped for caching purposes. Initially, I wouldnt want to have the caching feature. Is there some code in the ancient logfs tree (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/joern/ancient_logfs.git;a=summary) without the device mapping, that i can make use of?
