Why do you not use MTD layer in your > solution? To mount squashfs images in raw NAND flashes, as you suggested, we should use UBI, etc. to handle bad block management. BTW, I guess raw NAND flashes are not linearly accessible. What we are assuming is devices which can be directly accessed by physical addresses, such as RAM, NOR flashes, etc. Best regards, UCHINO Satoshi > On Tue, 2012-05-15 at 20:33 +0900, UCHINO Satoshi wrote: >> This patchset enables the SquashFS driver to load data directly from a >> linear adressed memory range (usually non volatile memory like flash) >> instead of going through the block device layer.
