+title: Unsorted Block Images
+
+description: |
+ UBI ("Unsorted Block Images") is a volume management system for raw
+ flash devices which manages multiple logical volumes on a single
+ physical flash device and spreads the I/O load (i.e wear-leveling)
+ across the whole flash chip.

==========
Page Cache
==========
+
+The page cache is the primary way that the user and the rest of the kernel
+interact with filesystems. It can be bypassed (e.g. with O_DIRECT),
+but normal reads, writes and mmaps go through the page cache.
+
+Folios
+======
+
+The folio is the unit of memory management within the page cache.
