The following are the people I am very grateful for help (alphabetical order):

• David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org> - the author of JFFS2, answered a great deal of my questions about MTD and JFFS2 and suggested some interesting ideas for JFFS3.

• Joern Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> - discussed some aspects of a new scalable flash file system with me. Joern is developing his own flash file system LogFS.

• Nikita Danilov <nikita@clusterfs.com> - used to work in Namesys and implemented ReiserFS and Reiser4 file systems. Nikita answered my questions about Reiser4 FS internals.

• Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> - helped me with MTD-related things, especially concerning flash hardware and low-level flash software.

• Victor V. Vengerov <vvv@oktetlabs.ru> - my colleague from OKTET Labs who discussed some JFFS3 design approaches with me and suggested several interesting ideas.
