Till now I have successfully boot Kernel 2.6.12.2 booting from a ext2 partition on an NFTL device. Now I want to partition my DOC in to two partitions so that, - First partition can be mounted as READ ONLY which contains kernel, boot loader and other utilities - Second partition can be used for data related to my main application; which need to be rewritten many times during run time. i.e. I need a READ/WRITE patition. After browsing this archieve I came to know that the "docfdisk" utility which is included in MTD tools works only for INFTL devices and not for NFTL devices. I want to know that can I use normal fdisk to partition my DOC 2000 Millenium? Would it be advantageous if I use jffs2 instead of ext2 considering the very low memory that my board has? Can some one make expert comments? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, --Ashish
