NAND and vfat

[Alaor Koppe]

Hi Nancy

I followed what you said but something is wrong. I'm trying to mount
my board as a device to windows, using the vfat.img as a Backing
Storage File (with gadget driver).
Well, I created the file with 50 Mb, indicated the file to driver and
formated the file as vfat at Windows. I put files in this volume at
Windows and all works fine, but when I mount the vfat.img at board
with mount command (-t vfat -o loop vfat.img /mnt/fat), I can't see
the files that I put with Windows.
The gadget driver is working fine, and the mount command doesn't
return error when I mount the loopback file.
Can be an error on Vfat fs in uclinux? (I'm using 2.6.11.8-hsc0)?

Thanks

Alaor
