Hi,
Thank you for your quick answer

As I cannot use JFFS2 with the DOC, I use an initrd to put the whole system
in ramdrive without having the doc mounted.
I did it to avoid filesystem failures.
Is there another way to
1) boot from the DOC,
2) build up the OS filesystem
3) umount the DOC ? -> protect filesystem in case of unexpected powerdown
I saw many things about pivot_root but didn't found any simple example to
get started.
Thank you.
