Under what licence is your product? JFFS2 is under a dual licence - both 
GPL for compatibility with the Linux kernel, and RHEPL for use in eCos.

128KiB - the 'major' erase size.

Probably not. To be honest, it probably wouldn't happen even _with_ 
compression - I just don't like releasing software that'll 'probably' work 
:)

Technically, it can - we now have a 'blkmtd' driver which uses any block 
device as backing store for an MTD device - so it can use any hard drive. 
At the moment, it's painfully slow. Checkpointing ought to fix that, but 
nobody's currently working on implementing that.
