Hi Richard, Yes, mostly. It's different from MTD, in that all flash is exposed through a linear address space, from which the FTL is layered on top. This allows the device to still do some work, such as ECC, RAID, etc. if it choose to, but also allows the host to do it. I think UBI could be a good choice for maintaining each of the flash "partitions" as there's a lot of small subtle details that have to be taken care of. - Matias -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
