Stories similar to Samsung Contributes F2FS NAND Filesystem to Linux

A new file system called F2FS has been proposed by Samsung, who aims to use it for NAND flash memory-based storage devices.

The F2FS file system is designed to be used on devices, such as SSD, eMMC, and SD cards, especially because they differ so much from the conventional rotational disks.

“F2FS is a new file system carefully designed for the NAND flash memory-based storage devices.

Il filesystem F2fs è stato sviluppato da Samsung per sostituire l’ormai obsoleto Fat32 sulle schede di memoria flash da utilizzare nei suoi terminale. F2fs è stato quindi creato e pensato per sfruttare appeno le potenzialità di questo tipo di memoria di massa.

Quirky, a Linux distribution from the “Puppy Linux family” that is used to introduce new ideas and applications, has now reached version 5.5 RC.

This version of Quirky, 5.5 RC, is built on Linux kernel 3.8, which provides support for f2fs (Flash Friendly File System).

Intel shows off its 20-nanometer NAND flash memory in the new SSD 335. While the SSD 335 uses the smallest and most efficient MLC NAND flash memory on the market today, it is functionally identical to its predecessor.

Samsung has started mass producing 128GB flash memory chips that feature the highest density in the industry, and are made with a 10nm process. Such high-capacity flash memory chips already exist in the marketplace, and the South Korean company is looking to not only bring smaller flash memory chips to mobile devices, but also replace traditional hard drives.

Samsung, la famosa casa sud coreana produttrice di decine di modelli di smartphone Android è stata una delle prime case ad adottare il famoso sistema operativo sui propri device, ed oggi conferma il suo impegno nel mondo open source rilasciando il codice sorgente della sua ultima creatura: un nuovo file system. F2FS è un file system sviluppato su misura per le memorie NAND ovvero quelle largamente

Your Android phone or tablet is only as fast as its slowest component. It can never hurt to have extra cores, higher clock speeds and copious amounts of RAM but it’s only worth so much if the rest of your device’s specifications aren’t on a par.
