Thank you very much for your correction.

I think, this should also be corrected :-

http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/tech/nand.html says
that :-

There are four layers of software

JFFS2: filesystem driver 
MTD: Memory Technology Devices driver 
NAND: generic NAND driver 
Hardware specific driver 

It should be :-

There are five layers of software

JFFS2: filesystem driver 
Flash Translation Layer: FTL (for NOR) or NFTL (for
NAND)
MTD: Memory Technology Devices driver 
NAND: generic NAND driver 
Hardware specific driver 

Am i again wrong ?

Thank you for your help.
