I need to manage 8 KB of space in an EEPROM. I need to store files in it : of course they'll be really small. Moreover, we don't wanna lose any datas already stored if the battery runs out or anything like that. To do so, I'm looking for several filesystems that would be good at it. (I would also accept an excellent one.) Does anyone know any ?

Notes :

  1. During my search I've met JFS2, which seems okay, but I've read "Minimum JFS2 file system size : 16 MB" which is faaaaar too much, and saddens me. Confirmation ?

  2. I've also met TexFAT which seems great on the security side, but I haven't been able to find any information concerning the mininum system size, or the minimum size of clusters, or even the space it needs for its own functionnement.

Thank you very much.

Archives like zip or 7-zip basically works as a filesystem plus you get the benefit of compression and that sounds like a good idea for a small filesystem. Would it be feasible to just write the zip file directly to the block device? Not sure how you will handle out of space scenarios but still maybe worth a try?
