In fact JFFS2 could in theory work on an MMC as it accesses the Flash thorugh the MTD block device layer. It currently does not work because it asks the MTD layer for some parameters of the MTD device, like eraseblocksize. I am pretty sure that JFFS2 could be tweaked to use defaults if the MTD parameters are missing like they of course do on an MMC card. Yet this has not been done yet and the only (quite useless) way to have JFFS2 access to an ordinary block device is the already mentioned mtd block emulation device (which in fact does not much more than "emulating" the mtd parameters). But using JFFS2 on an MMC card does not help for anything else than compression - wear levelling should already be done by the card itself and double wear levelling by card + JFFS could even be more fatal than helpful. > Frantisek Cheers nils faerber - -- kernel concepts Tel: +49-271-771091-12 Dreisbachstr. 24 Fax: +49-271-771091-19 D-57250 Netphen Mob: +49-176-21024535 - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFDy6BXJXeIURG1qHgRAlgXAJiOja3QeaKh5hADPstapMnFC6kuAKD9wD5Z TinUcZUc/jE7wajpMmhXmQ== =ZIkX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
