  • YAFFS (Yet Another Flash File System) was designed and written by Charles Manning, of Whitecliffs, New Zealand, for the company Aleph One. YAFFS is the first file system that was designed specifically for NAND flash. Yaffs1 is the first version of this file system and works on NAND chips that have 512 byte pages + 16 byte spare (OOB;Out-Of-Band) areas. These older chips also generally allow 2 or 3 write cycles per page, which YAFFS takes advantage of - i.e. dirty pages are marked by writing to a specific spare area byte. Newer NAND flash chips have larger pages, 2048 bytes + 64 bytes spare areas, and stricter write requirements. Each page within a block must be written to in sequential order, and each page must be written only once. YAFFS2 was designed to accommodate these newer chips. YAFFS2 is based on the YAFFS1 source code, with the major difference being that internal structures are not fixed to assume 512 byte sizing, and a block sequence number is placed on each written page. In this way older pages can be logically overwritten without violating the "write once" rule. YAFFS is a robust log-structured file system that holds data integrity as a high priority. A secondary YAFFS goal is high performance. YAFFS will typically outperform most alternatives. It is also designed to be portable and has been used on Linux, WinCE, pSOS, eCos, ThreadX and various special-purpose OSes. A variant 'YAFFS/Direct' is used in situations where there is no OS, embedded OSes and bootloaders: it has the same core filesystem but simpler interfacing to the OS and NAND flash hardware. The filesystem is licensed both under the GPL and under per-product licenses available from Aleph One.
  • YAFFS (Yet Another Flash File System) — YAFFS — это первая файловая система, разработанная специально для использования на NAND накопителях. Автором является Charles Manning из Новой Зеландии. Yaffs1 — первая версия этой файловой системы, которая работала со страницами памяти размером в 512 байт + 16 служебных байт. Старые модели флеш-памяти позволяли выполнять всего 2 или 3 цикла перезаписи, при отказе записи на страницу, YAFFS помечала ее как сбойную, выставляя байт в служебной области.
