Hi All On the weekend I set up an Overo board (equivalent to a slower Beagleboard) with yaffs to get a datapoint for the block summary speed up. Flash speed was quite slow due to a slow mtd implementation. I filled almost 250Mbytes with 1MB files and observed the following mount times: Mount with full scan using no checkpoint or block summary info: 8.67 seconds Mount with block summary: 1.02 seconds Mount with checkpoint: 0.17 seconds -- CHarles
