As far as the MTD device goes I'm in a pretty good spot.  I put together
a driver that takes two flashes, creates one device from them, and then
partitions them the way I want.  Then I put jffs2 onto my one BIG flash
partition.  And that's where I get problems.  It takes a very long time
to mount the jffs2 partition and I'm looking for the latest jffs2 code
to try to speed things up (I recall there was some talk about long mount
times a little while back).

So what I'm looking for is faster jffs2 code.  Also, does it matter if I
grab stuff from the 2.5 branch if I'm using a 2.4 kernel?

Thanks,
Andy
