Abstract

A flash memory file system logically divides at least a portion of the flash memory into memory fragments and headers associated with the memory fragments. The flash memory file system also includes a transaction information structure in support of transacted operations. The transaction information structure includes fields to indicate whether a transaction has begun, whether commitment of the transaction has begun, and whether commitment of the transaction has been completed. File system operations may be rolled back if a transaction was interrupted.
