I just benchmarked that. Actually it should work very well as a NAND-only fs. Also you do get something like XIP with NAND. If you boot an XIP AXFS image on NAND or a blkdev it will copy that XIP region into RAM and "XIP" it from there. I think this will make it very good for LiveCD's. Though we just (minutes ago) realized our testing of that feature was flawed, so no guarantees. > - would axfs be suitable as a filesystem on a ram disk? It could be. I plan on implementing support for brd. That might work nicely. -- 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/
