In theory everything should be already cached in RAM but still flashing mtd device while jffs2 uses it may lead to surprises. Could be solved by copying critical binaries to tmpfs early on boot before executing them. BTW documentation for next version talks about cramfs used for initfs http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/4-x/maemo_architecture.html#Flash Is this documentation bug or new feature? Perhaps we can fit more stuff to cramfs and don't need write access so this is not bad choice (provided it can live in NAND and handle bad blocks). But still cramfs won't solve issue with flashing live system. Frantisek
