AXFS, Advanced Execute In Place Filesystem
"I'd like to get a first round of review on my AXFS filesystem," began Jared Hulbert, describing his new Advanced XIP File System for Linux. XIP stands for eXecute-In-Place. The new filesystem received quite a bit of positive feedback. Jared offered the following description:
"This is a simple read only compressed filesystem like Squashfs and cramfs. AXFS is special because it also allows for execute-in-place of your applications. It is a major improvement over the cramfs XIP patches that have been floating around for ages."

XiP filesystem primps for Linux 2.6.28
linuxdevices.com: The Linux-Embedded discussion list has been abuzz the last two days over a flash filesystem designed to support binary code execution (sometimes called XIP, or "execute-in-place"). When combined with forthcoming "Phase Change Memory" products, the "Advanced XiP Filesystem" (AXFS) could radically change the way Linux is embedded on consumer devices.
The AXFS project is led by Jared Hulbert, who works for Numonyx. A joint venture of Intel, STMicroelectronics, and Francisco Partners, Numonyx was founded in March of this year to commercialize "phase change memory (PCM)," among other opportunities in the non-volatile memory market.
