Similar in principle, then, if not in implementation, to FTL.
A kind of pseudo-filesystem which is used to emulate a block device.

Does it use the concepts which are patented by M-Systems? I believe that 
the patents in this area are extremely broad, and cover almost all obvious
methods of implementing wear levelling.
