Hi david!
I'v managed to compile my kernel with mtd and jffs support successfully,but
I can't delete or edit files or build directories on jffs partitions,why?
i created a jffs image including some directories(/dev,/bin,/etc,etc) and tried to
mount jffs in following steps:
# mkfs.jffs -d /jffstuff -a big -o jffs.img (on the host)
/> eraseall /dev/mtd3 (on the target)
/> cat /proc/mtd (on the target)
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00020000 00038000 "bootloader"
mtd1: 00020000 00038000 "user"
mtd2: 000c0000 00040000 "kernel"
mtd3: 00100000 00040000 "jffs"
/> cp jffs.img /dev/mtd3 (or dd if=jffs.img /dev/mtd3 bs=256k

JFFS version 1.0, (C) 1999, 2000 Axis Communications AB
kmem_create: Forcing size word alignment - jffs_node
/> mount -t jffs /dev/mtdblock3 /mnt/jffs
JFFS: Failed to build tree.
JFFS: Failed to mount device 1f:03.
mount: Mounting /dev/mtdblock3 on /mnt/jffs failed: Invalid argument
pid 28: failed 256
Then i created another jffs.img which only contained two files:init and inetd,then
tried
above steps again.
/> mount -t jffs /dev/mtdblock3 /mnt/jffs
/> mount
/dev/root on / type romfs (ro)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/ram0 on /var type ext2 (rw)
/dev/mtdblock3 on /var/jffs type jffs (rw)

it seems that jffs have been successfully mounted.
but when i tried to delete a file:
/> /mnt/jffs/rm init
rm: unable to remove `init': I/O error
if i tried to edit the file(vi init) ,error was showed as" init is a readonly
file".
then i tried to change the mode by "chmod 0777 init",however, an error came as"
" init: No space left on device"
What's problem?Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Best Wishes
Yean
