UnitSizeFactor of != 1 yet?

[Brian P. Austin]

OK.  I got past the != 1 part.  I used the 4.2 exb file from m-sys.

When I load the mtd and nftl modules I get this message.

Mar  1 01:31:38 ba kernel: mtd: Giving out device 0 to DiskOnChip 2000 
Mar  1 01:31:38 ba kernel: NFTL_notify_add for DiskOnChip 2000 
Mar  1 01:31:38 ba kernel: NFTL_setup 
Mar  1 01:31:46 ba kernel: Cannot calculate an NFTL geometry to match size of 0x3bf80. 
Mar  1 01:31:46 ba kernel: Using C:1023 H:16 S:15 (== 0x3bf10 sects) 
Mar  1 01:31:46 ba kernel:  nftla: unknown partition table 

This was after running nftl_format, which seemed to work.

as per the mtd-jffs how-to i ran fdisk on /dev/nftla.  When I wrote the
table my message file logged this.

Mar  1 01:42:20 ba kernel: invalidate: busy buffer 
Mar  1 01:42:20 ba last message repeated 17 times
Mar  1 01:42:20 ba kernel:  nftla: nftla1 
Mar  1 01:42:22 ba kernel: invalidate: busy buffer 
Mar  1 01:42:22 ba last message repeated 17 times
Mar  1 01:42:22 ba kernel:  nftla: nftla1 

I do not get an error when doing this however.  Fdisk exits normally.

then, here's the kicker.  When i run mke2fs /dev/nftla1 I get this
message SEVERAL TIMES.

Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: e==1 to find free EUN to accommodate write to VUC 7182 
Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: Argh! No free blocks found! LastFreeEUN = 7679, FirstEUN = 0 
Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: Cannot make free space. 
Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: NFTL_writeblock(): Cannot find block to write to 
Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: NFTL write request failed 
Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 5d:01 (unknown), sector 229822 
Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: Argh! No free blocks found! LastFreeEUN = 7679, FirstEUN = 0 
Mar  1 01:36:09 ba kernel: No Virtual Unit Chains available for folding. Failing request 

I do not get any errors when running mke2fs.  Programm exits normally.

I'm sorry for the length of the message, but I want to make sure I don't
leave anything out.  I feel I'm very close to being able to ditch the
M-SYS DOC Driver.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

P.S.  I'm using a 288MB DOC 2000
