I also had some experiences with jffs2 on a PDA a few years ago (iPaq with familiar linux), but no good ones. It was slow, and regularly got corrupted beyond repair. I think it has improved in the mean time, but of what I have heard so far, it is still slow. Probably too slow for my 48MHz PowerPC. I haven't tested it yet myself, though. Greetings, Oliver
