[Yaffs] [Yaffs-archive] Makefile switches

[Daniel Haensse]

Hi list,

I have the yaffs now implemented into our uclinux 2.4 distro. I wonder if we 
should not put a couple of switches into the kernel config:

USE_GENERIC_RW: How long does the kernel hold the objects in memory until they 
are written on the flash. Having a read cache is a nice thing, but a write 
cache might cause us some trouble

ENABLE_SHORT_NAMES_IN_RAM: Might be nice to have the option. What is the 
impact on performance? Can this be switched on and off on a already formatted 
yaffs chip without harming integrity?

USE_NANDECC, what is recommended to use, the MTD NAND or the one from yaffs? 
This is what this switch is about, right?

USE_WRONGECC: I guess this switch was integrated to confuse me completly. :-) 
Yaffs can't be used on a USB to Smart Media converter anyway? So when we 
reformat a card / chip, the order does not matter anymore? What is the 
history behind it. Does this matter anymore if we switch USE_NANDECC on?

regards

Dani
