Hi, all
I'm currently trying to add nand flash file system support for the linux
2.0.38 porting on my company's product. I choosed the JFFS but the JFFS2
because it fits the old 2.0.x kernel. In the processing of porting I met a
lot of troubles and I thought some of them are caused by bugs of JFFS code
rather by my porting. So a question is: is the JFFS stable enough for product
usage? I saw it is still in the fs/ directory of the brand-new 2.6.0 kernel.
Does this fact mean that the version of JFFS in the 2.6.0 kernel is stable
enough to use? I've searched the docs and mail archive but it seems that no
one is using JFFS now. So the question is: what is the best nand flash file
system for the 2.0.x kernel?
Any hints are appreciated, thanks!

AFAIK JFFS does not support NAND, but JFFS2 does, so does YAFFS.
"Best" is hard to define and mileage will vary. Both YAFFS and JFFS2 have
there place in the world.
I can't speak for porting JFFS2, but I can for YAFFS.
YAFFS currently works with 2.4 and 2.6. YAFFS does not use many kernel
features (threads etc), so I would expect porting to other Linux variants to
be not too bad.
