Subject: v1.38 "mkfs.jffs2 --pad" goes overboard
Date: Sun, 25 May 2003 13:41:45 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3brxqzrli.fsf@bfnet.com> (raw)
Why is mkfs.jffs2 generating a larger file than I want?
# /sbin/mkfs.jffs2 --version
mkfs.jffs2: revision 1.38
# /sbin/mkfs.jffs2 --pad=10485760 --little-endian --squash -e 16384 -d root -o jffs2.dat
# ls -al jffs2.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10551296 May 25 13:36 jffs2.dat
#
My partition is only 10MB. That's (1024*1024*10) = 10485760 bytes.
It is divisible by the 16k erase block. So why does mkfs.jffs2 insist
on writing 65536 more bytes than I want? Am I doing something wrong
or is this a bug?
Dave
