I was actually talking about applications write files to a UBIFS
volume mounted as RW in Linux, let's say if I write a file by vi, will
it immediately flush to the NAND or will it stay in cache until some
algorithm in MTD to erase NAND pages and flush the cache to NAND page
based on size of output or time, is it correct?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
