[OLPC-devel] jffs2 and usb

[stephen pearce]

Prior to upgrading to Linuxbios, I successfully booted from an olpc jffs2 image
using a usb flash drive and Insyde bios.

The image recommended for the Linuxbios upgrade is ext2, and I am
curretnly using this on a usb drive.

I may be incorrect but I thought one of the advantages of jffs2 was
that it used ram caching to minimise writing to the flash rom and
increase the longevity of the memory given it's "100000 writes"  life
time.

Is there any sense in using the jffs2 image on usb flash?

I note that the wiki is not currently recommending installing to nand
flash on the board due to problems (being worked on)

Thanks
