cp of jffs image wants to clobber /dev/mtd1 node.

[Ken Offer]

Anybody else run into this?

I try to copy my jffs2 image created with:

     ./mkfs.jffs2 -r simple_directory -e 16K -l -o /tmp/test.img

like so

     cp /tmp/test.img /dev/mtd1

And Linux wants to overwrite my "/dev/mtd1" node...

     cp: overwrite `/dev/mtd1'?

If I let it, Linux replaces the file "/dev/mtd1" with the 
contents of test.img, instead of copying test.img TO the DEVICE 
"/dev/mtd1".  Its acting as if "/dev/mtd1" is a simple file 
instead of a device node.

The node looks correctly created:

crw-rw----    1 root     disk      90,   2 Aug 19 08:43 /dev/mtd1
