Package: Persisent Ram File System
System name: pramfs
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
My project aims to the creation of a new file system optimized for use with 
flash memories and embedded devices. It uses some new ideas such as writing 
data and metadata together in the same place and no fragmentation. With respect 
to other file systems it tries to experiment some advanced optimization 
algorithms based on the Dynamic Programming approach.

The current implementantion is based on the Linux kernel 2.4 but it has never 
been published. It works on the Compaq Ipaq hadheld and shows better 
performance than JFFSv2, developed by Red Hat.

Other Software Required:
Linux kernel 2.4. Gcc.
