NAND flash writing policy in Linux?

I had a question from one person that wanted to know how Linux writes to flash (flash drives, solid states.. etc). What is responsible for this? Linux Kernel? Partition type?

Re: NAND flash writing policy in Linux?

Perhaps you are talking about i/o schedulers? The default i/o scheduler is cfq, some people prefer to use bfq on desktop machines. I use bfq for my HDDs and noop for my SSDs. I believe removable flash drives would be mounted with whatever you have set to be the default.
