Re: checkpointing

Indeed I did think of this, but I am fearful of
blowing my schdule by trying to implement it. I'd
imagine that you would store the RAM data structures
in the block with the highest sequence number and
attempt to find it at mount time. If you find it,
great - otherwise do the normal scan. The checkpoint
would have to be stored occasionally or on unmount
(clean shutdown).

Is there an old discussion in the archive on how best
to implement this?

Also, any ideas on good ways to use the interleaved
and cached programming features of these big NANDs?

Regards,
Kent.
