In the as-provided form, it's just a bunch of
sector-by-sector data
written to a predefined set of addresses on the flash drive.? No file
system at all.
Reading about the SFR1M44-U100 and the raw sector allocation made me
think about modifying the Linux kernel for the 3rd time.? I feel like it
should be possible to add a partitioning scheme that is the SFR1M44-U100
layouts.? I.e. disk1 corresponds to memory address 1, disk2 corresponds
to memory address 2, etc.
The first time was to hack the Emulex LightPulse driver to support the
high LUN numbers of the Compaq RA-4000 & RA-4100.? The second time was
pontificating the possibility of causing the Linux bridge code to
forward frames that bridges are supposed to filter, to support a very
specific use case.
