One possibility is to just write zeros over all the old blocks which<br>doesn't require an erase.&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps an IOCTL interface to &quot;zap&quot; the file<br>contents?<br></blockquote></div><br>
Nice thought, but it would break the requirements of the newer NAND
chips that pages within a block only get written in order, and only get
written once.<br>--<br><a href="mailto:wjw1961@gmail.com">wjw1961@gmail.com</a><br>William J. Watson
