Dear All,

We are developing a embedded device based on linux. Through the 
development phase we used NFS. But now we want to move some 
filesystem
which can be created in FLASH/RAM.

I have few doubts about the file system in embedded devices.

1) What is the file system which is used normally in all embedded 
devices? (JFFS/CRAMFS/RAM DISK)

2) We tried using RAM disk as the file system. But since our 
application is huge it is not able to fit into 8 MB RAM disk 
created. When we tried to increase the size of the RAM disk, the 
kernel crashes above 9 MB. We have 32 MB in our target board.

3) I dont know whether we can use cramfs.

Can anybody suggest me some ideas so that i can solve these 
issues?

Thanks and Regards,
Nanda
