Re(2): trouble compiling mkfs.jffs2

[Joakim Tjernlund]

Hi

When mounting a mkfs.jffs2 made jffs2 image, I get:
root at board8:~# mount /dev/mtdblock4 /jffs2/
Child dir "." (ino #1) of dir ino #1 appears to be a hard link
root at board8:~# cd /jffs2/                                     
root at board8:/jffs2# ls -l

This is with mkfs.jffs2 v1.16

I am not sure what I was running before I upgraded to v1.16, but it could 
have been as old as v1.11

This FS is created from MV 2.0 by doing(on Host, Redhat 7.1):
cp -a /opt/hardhat/.../target /root/target
<rm /root/target a lot of unnedded files>
mkfs.jffs2 -b -e 0x40000 -o rootfs -d /root/target

On target(custom PPC 860):
eraseall /dev/mtd4
cp rootfs /dev/mtdblock4
