I think it should be OK when it's 4MiB in size. Mount time was far more of a problem in JFFS2 many years ago when people were using the 2.4 kernel. It's a lot faster in 2.6. There's people looking at making it even faster now, too. -- dwmw2 ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
