I'm surprised that searching for "UBIFS" doesn't return any (maemo.org) or few (ITT) results.

What I read about it:
  • It's a file system designed to outperform and replace JFFS2 on flash media.
  • It's faster than JFFS2.
  • The driving force behind it is Nokia.
  • It's supposed to be in the kernel as of 2.6.27 (so it's ready for production now).

Wouldn't all of this suggest that we might see UBIFS instead of JFFS2 in the near future on the tablets? From what I read it would improve performance quite a bit.

Any comments?
