safe flash filesystem

[Abraham vd Merwe]

Hi!

We're developing a product that needs a small part of the flash memory to
contain a very scaled down file system containing configuration files. This
file system have to be extremely reliable. Speed is not an issue, but the
validity of any data written to it is of utmost importance.

So before I go reinvent the wheel, I'd like to know if there's something
which already does this, i.e. does things like keep duplicate copies of
everything around, have all sorts of checks and balances to check for
damaged parts of the flash, no caching and some sort of wear levelling, etc?
