Btrfs devel - Aug 2010 - Question about specific patch (eMMC)

Hello all,
Is there any patches for btrfs to use enhanced area in eMMC (it will
allow to boost performance i.e. it very useful to keep metadata within
this area) ?

If it''s exist let me know how to find it and use it.

Thanks,

  I''m not aware of this at the moment.  However, there are
data-temperature
tracking patches.  Their point is to move hot data into faster storage.
I believe they can grow into generic infrastructure to inform filesystems
about non-homogenous nature of underlaying storage.

Could you point me where I can find it ?

I guess that it will require specific patches to the filesystem.
Each filesystem has a specific policy to locate metadata, but most
manufacturers believe that the device will use fat filesystem and they
creates special areas to keep fat metadata (allocation table).
If btrfs will has an option to use this area it will be a good advantage
to use it in embedded area.

Thanks,
