How does it compare to ext2 usage? I have no idea. JFFS2 takes also more memory for files which are open. > Maybe another argument to boot from mmc with 770? > Every megabyte counts here. I think N800 JFFS2 driver rewrites badly fragmented blocks when they get full (=4KB as compressed), because otherwise very badly fragmented files (such as 100MB compressed syslog written one line at the time) could actually take tens of MBs of RAM (whereas rewriting blocks just slightly increases flash wearing and need for GC). I'm not sure whether this was fixed in the (early) 770 releases, if not, ext2/3 could indeed be better. JFFS2 doesn't really scale that well to larger file systems than what we currently have. - Eero
