Hi,
> It is technically possible to use pretty much any file system, 

Could you please explain how can "any" file system be used on top of mtd/nand?
As far as I understand at the very minimum the bad blocks would prevent that.
I believe there are no translation layers available for bare nand, only for
DOC.

What about all these digital cameras running FAT on memory cards? Is any 
wear leveling happening in this case? (And yes, I know, it is better to 
have it).
