Question: Appending data to a file is optimally handled by UBIFS?

[Fernando AE <fernando.ae2017@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm working with a UBI and UBIFS in a NAND flash with 2kB pages and
128 kB blocks.

My app is periodically appending 16 bytes to a file. I'm wondering if
UBIFS and/or underlying drivers will also append data to the same
flash page or if a new page must be allocated every time.

I'm aware that the kernel will buffer data in RAM before syncing to
the flash. In any case, assume that a fsync happens after each append.

Thanks for your help,
Fernando
