i swear i once knew how to do this, but it's lost in the mists of
time. i used "mkfs.jffs2" to create a simple JFFS2 image, and now i
just want to mount it on my fedora core 3 system using a loopback
mount.
i have the jffs2 and mtdcore modules currently loaded, and normally,
what i would try is:
# mkdir m
# mount -o loop -t jffs2 <jffs2.img file> m
but what i get is:
# mount -o loop -t jffs2 hello.img m
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
i *vaguely* recall needing to do a bit more work, like loading
another module or two. any pointers to a URL for this? thanks.
