Problem with jffs2 on linux 2.6.23

[Rupesh Kumar]

Hi
The erase size/Block size of nand device is 128KB, also the JFFS2 image is 
created with erase size of 128KB. 
I verified this by enabling debug statements. I am not able to undersatnd 
the reason for ECC / Magic Bitmask error.

I tried using linux-2.6.20 kernel with the same file system and observed 
that ECC / Magic Bitmask error is not coming then.

Is jffs2 code in linux 2.6.23 kernel is buggy ?

Thanks
Rupesh

Hi Rupesh,

It usually comes when jffs2 image is not build correctly, i mean with 
correct block size and erase size. Kindly check once again, please enable 
the MTD debug and file system debug flags to see more debug info.

Hi
We are using jffs2 RFS for our board with linux 2.6.23 . we are suing nand
write.jffs2 utility in the u-boot to burn the image on to the
nand flash,

Our problem is
Booting First time with the RFS seems to be fine. As system run and we do
reboot system it prints following messages and boots up.

During run time also it prints these messages.

I am not able to understand the cause of this error. Please help me in
fixing this error.

The same file system is working fine with the linux 2.6.20 kernel.
Thanks
