I was taking a look at http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/filesystems and there was discussion there about how using raw squashfs doesn't deal with wear leveling and bad flash blocks, and that openwrt is now using ubifs for all targets with raw NAND flash --- and my understanding is that the WNDR 3800 uses raw NAND flash. Is there any particular reason why Cerowrt isn't using ubifs, or squashfs over ubi, other than purely historical and/or this wasn't the research focus of Cerowrt? Thanks, - Ted
