Re: newtmgr fs command fails in sim

[Kevin Townsend]

Hi Jacob,

But Kevins code snippet brings up something im thinking about. In his
comments he has

CONFIG_NFFS: 1        # Initialize and configure NFFS into the
     system

I dont agree with that comment, whats thats actually doing is turning on
the config subsystem and telling it to create its own nffs. Then hes
coattail riding on config's nffs partition.

Came back to this again today writing some internal documentation.

I do agree this leads to some potentially false conclusions, especially to
someone new to Mynewt since 'CONFIG_NFFS' sounds like it may well do
what the comment is saying, and it's part of the official FS documentation
here: https://mynewt.apache.org/latest/os/modules/fs/fs.html#description

I missed that myself, but appreciate you pointing it out since it may have
cause a problem in the future that might not have been obvious at first
glance.
