Flash memory is widely used in embedded systems because of its benefits such as non-volatile, shock resistant, and low power consumption. But NAND flash memory suffers from out-place-update, limited erase cycles, and page based read/write operations. To solve these problems, log-structured filesystem was proposed such as YAFFS. However, YAFFS sequentially retrieves an array of all block information to allocate free block for a write operation. Also before the write operation, YAFPS read the array of block information to find invalid block for erase. These could reduce the performance of the filesystem. This paper suggests fast operation method for NAND flash filesystem that solves the above-mentioned problems. We implemented the proposed methods in YAFFS. And we measured the performance compared with the original technique.
