Title:
jffs2 - journaling for flash devices is not in the kernel
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
There is aufs which allows for a read-only root but that doesn't solve
things. For speed and reliability you need a journaling filesystem,
but EXT3 will burn out the journal inode since it never moves.
However jffs2 is available, but only as a module, and provides all the
features (hard and symlinks, etc.) does journaling, and was designed
for flash media.
For "the next" version, perhaps of the netbook remix, but it would
also apply to the mainline, add jffs2 support to grub2 and to the boot
kernel. (I'm not sure about ext4 - it seems overkill).
