Ok. From what I've calculated and tested I wouldn't be able to meet
the minimum so I'm trying to use one big jffs2 partition and devide by
dirs.
The problem I'm having with this is not being able to untar files into
a directory essentially overwriting the old files. This seem to be
because untaring takes too much memory. Is there a better way to
replace these directory files (which is about 200 files)?
