The mtd tree is the most current. Any development would probably get the most benefit from being done there. Especially since JFFS3 doesn't exist anywhere else :). > In addition, having someone experienced with xattr API could be great, > as development documentation seems inexistent, among James Morris' > merged xattr consolidation code. There have been some xattr proposals discussed on the MTD and JFFS2 mailing lists. They might be a starting place for you. josh - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
