I'm going to be using JFFS2 on the flash device but do you think it's a good idea to implement it in RAM too? Just to clarify my situation: the running system will be in RAM with a flash chip that will be used as a backup device but not "really" like a disk. My thinking was that ext2 has been beaten up a lot and is very stable but I wasn't sure about the granularity of file sizes. Once again debian-user comes to the rescue and I've got a solution that should work nicely. Thanks, Andy
