It seems we could increase file access times and save allot of space
by having /system on UbiFS or SquashFS+lzma, I am currently running an
ubuntu system with this setup:

I am familiar in compressing kernel modules for linux and compiling
kernels for linux but it is a bit different in android, id like some
assistance getting ubifs with lzo on android, I havnt been able to
find android specific information on this yet.

I am excited to implement this to android, any help/suggestions are
welcome!

Also ubifs has lzo compression, not sure how that would work either,
it seems ubifs is favored over jffs2 and yaffs2
found a nice pdf:

Seems like people are already using ubifs on android:

Thank you for your info sharing about benchmark result of nand flash
filesystem.
In my case, When I ported android platform (prototype) on S3C6410
based target board,
bootup performance of ubifs is better than jffs2 and yaffs2 in
general.

Belows is my some videos and screenshots.
