No, on NAND flash it's a limitation of the hardware. The number of write cycles you can perform to a given page is limited. Exceed it and the contents of that page become undefined due to leakage, until you next erase it. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
