MTD and jffs2 mount problem on Linux-2.6.23 rc2

[Dach Miroslaw]

Hi Jörn,

Thank you for the hint. I have recompiled the kernel with built-in block2mtd driver.

Do you know where to find some examples how to use block2mtd with jffs2 image.

Best Regards

M.

Some people use loop and block2mtd to mount jffs2 images.  Hardly
elegant, but it seems to work.
