UBI fastmap support added in 3.7 merge window
|
Tim Bird <tim.bird@...>
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to inform you that the UBI fastmap support, written by Richard Weinberger of Linuxtronix, with funding by the CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation, has been merged into Linus Torvald's linux tree as part of the 3.7 merge window. Please see commit e9eca4d. This should speed up UBIFS mount time on large flash parts by a lot, and should overall help out a great deal with boot time for systems using UBIFS. This feature is currently defaulted to 'off' in the kernel config due to it being somewhat experimental. Anyone who is interested in this work please test it as soon as possible, and report any issues to Richard or the linux-mtd mailing list. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Network Entertainment ============================= |
