MTD does have the ability to do this. One might argue about the philosophical merits of doing in kernel space (hard to debug) what can trivially be done in user space (trivial to debug). One might also argue that the mtd code (I've perused it in some detail) takes a rather cavalier approach to error checking and is thus not optimal for use in real systems where reliability, dependability, and availability matter. While our heroic "one" is busy arguing, I'll take a moment and point out that the Linux kernel harbors a bug, the fix is trivial. As long as the argument still rages, I'll point out that advice from the "don't fix the bug, work around it" crowd doesn't carry that much weight with the paranoid amongst us. >It's also much safer. Under what circumstance is buggy kernel code safer than buggy user code? -michael _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list [email protected] https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
