\r
The main goal of the lwext4 project is to provide ext2/3/4 filesystem\r
-library for microcontrolers.\r
+library for microcontrolers with SD/MMC card support. Ext2/3/4, in my\r
+opinion is one of the best filesystem for SD/MMC.\r

+Minimum memory requirements\r
+===========================\r
+\r
+.text ~ 15KB\r
+.data + .bss ~ 8KB\r
+.stack ~ 1KB-2KB (not tested yet)\r
+\r
+ext2/3/4 vs FAT32\r
+=================\r
+ext2/3/4 > FAT32\r
+ - fseek operation on big file in FAT32 is IO heavy\r
+ - ext2/3/4 HTREE directories operations are faster than FAT32 \r
+ - ext4 extents makes truncate/remove opertion really fast\r
+ - more at https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Disk_Layout\r
+\r
+ext2/3/4 < FAT32\r
+ - FAT32 has smaller footprint\r
