[Yaffs] OOB usage with YAFFS

When using YAFFS, is it possible to store the tags data in the page
itself, rather than in the OOB area? I noticed a discussion a while ago
regarding Samsung OneNAND, in which this method was suggested as a way
of avoiding the restrictions that device placed on the OOB bytes. I have
a chip with similar restrictions, which I can use fine to store straight
data in, but not with YAFFS for the filesystem, due (I believe) to the
OOB issues.

I assume that a similar method has to be taken when people use YAFFS
with NOR flash (as has been mentioned in the list).

Has anyone worked on this? Is there a way to force YAFFS meta-data into
the page area?

Thanks,
Andre
