With the help of a friend I recently found a good thesis on workings of flash and jffs2. It can be very good tutorial for new comers. As it is on a chinese website it may not easily be available to all.

that's why I am sharing it here for the benfit of new comers to the vast world of linux.

David Woodhouse's paper and slides give very good conceptual overview of JFFS2.

I did not come across it.

Sure that is a good document on architecture of jffs2. But for a novice what is more important is knowing what to find where in the kernel and if something needs to be changed where should it be changed and so on.

I don't believe so as there are still a number of unsupported devices
and platforms.

If everything has already been done than there is nothing to do and we should all go home.
