Is it just mkfs.jffs2 that don't support hardlinks?

I just checked it in, along with a man page describing the various options as I understand them. I also wrote a little shell script that creates a test filesystem and compares it to a reference filesystem. The reference filesystems were created on i386 and powerpc hosts before I made the endianness changes. The limit of my testing is creating a BE JFFS2 filesystem on an i386 and comparing it to the reference filesystem -- they were identical, so I called the operation a success. I'll check in the test script in the next couple days. dave... To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
