i think this is a complete waste of time.  it adds complexity
and the YAFS [Yet Another File System] syndrome.

such things should just appear as raw disks and you
stick whatever f/s you like on 'em.

if you want to wear-level it stick a user mode wear-leveller on top of it.
isn't that what plan 9 does really well?
