What filesystem for NAND flash with OOB 218
I was wondering what type of filesystem everybody is using for the newer
NAND flash with OOB>=128 bytes. For me, this is the Micron
MT29F8G08AAA which has an OOB=218.
It seems that the JFFS2 tools are out of date and don't work with anything less than or equal to 64bytes of OOB.
YAFFS2 does not compile in the latest kernel source trees (2.6.31 in the DENX linux-2.6-denx git tree). Is this filesystem dead?
As far as I can tell, that only leaves UBIFS. Is UBIFS ready to deployed in the field?
Is there any other choice for these parts?

Far from it.
I'll take a look at why it does not compile.

I just compiled yaffs2 in 2.6.29, 2.6.30, 2.6.31, 2.6.32 from kernel.org. No problems.
I didn't try denx.
I would suggest you'd get further trying to sort this out in the denx or yaffs lists.

It would appear that the yaffs2 code in DENX kernel is out of date. I had assumed that since it was in the git tree, it was being maintained and ready for use. Especially since they keep a close tie with the kernel.org tree.
Once I wiped it out and patched it with the latest yaffs code from CVS the fs/yaffs2 compiled. The problem most likely comes from the fact that yaffs2 is maintained outside the kernel and requires the patch-ker.sh.
