Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A method for improving memory capacity in a NOT-AND (NAND) flash memory, the method comprising:
partitioning a boot volume of the NAND flash into a primary boot partition, a secondary boot partition, and a rootdisk partition;
storing a kernel component of a file within the primary boot partition;
storing a copy of the kernel component of the file within the secondary boot partition, wherein the secondary boot partition is a back-up of the primary boot partition;
storing a root filesystem of the file within the rootdisk partition;
splitting a file into a kernel component and a root filesystem;
generating a Squash File System (squashfs) image of a copy of the root filesystem;
writing the squashfs image to the NAND flash memory; and
mounting the squashfs image directly from the NAND flash.
