the JFFS2 filesystem takes *much* longer with this feature, though. Sorting is done while inserting into the fragment list, which is more or less a bubble sort. That algorithm is known to be O(n^2), thus you should really consider if you can avoid it! |

There is two ways for JFFS2 to find the disk. The default way uses the flash_info structure to find the start of a JFFS2 disk (called partition in the code) and you can change where the partition is with two defines. |

jffs2_part_info(int part_num) function in your board specific files. |

Remove the assumption that JFFS can dereference a pointer into the disk. The current code do not work with memory holes or hardware with a sliding window (PCMCIA). |
