FMD_WriteSector is called continuosly !

Hello,
I am working on Windows CE 5.0 and Freescale BSP imx31.
I have a question about an FMD driver for my NAND Flash.
I have put a RETAILMSG instruction in the function FMD_WriteSector to trace
when it is invoked. I see that after that the OS start and the shell appears,
the FMD_WriteSector is called continuosly ! I do not use the shell .... who is
writting in the Flash ??! On the NAND I have the hive registry but I have
disabled the thread that save every 1000 ms (default).

Thanks,
Paolo

Is your NAND already formatted?

Is your NAND already formatted? If it is not and in the registry the device
profile has the "AutoFormat" value those writes can derive from it

Yes...the Nand is already formatted and AutoFormat is not set.

Here my settings :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\FlashDisk]

I have seen the following strange thing :I have hive registry in NAND.

I have seen the following strange thing :
I have hive registry in NAND. If I remove hive registry based component in
my os design, the function FMD_WriteSector is not called continuosly ! I have
disabled the thread that updates the hive registry every 1000 ms. So...why
the hive component is writing in NAND !??

Thanks,
Paolo

The thread you are talking about is run by filesys process to flush

The thread you are talking about is run by filesys process to flush the
registry after a specified amount of time or a specified amount of changes.
Indipendently from it, every time an application call
RegFlushKey the registry is flushed to the storage
