Hi,
I want to report two bugs on mkfs.jffs2 Revision 1.44

1.
I tried to create a file sytem image with this commandline.

mkfs.jffs2 -l -e 0x20000 -D devtable.txt -d rootfs -o test.img

The file devtable.txt contains a line =20

----8<-----
/dev/input   d  755     0       0       -       -       -       -       -
----8<-----

and the rootfs directory contains a directory=20

rootfs/dev/input


Of course it is my fault that I put the /dev/input directory in the devic=
e table
and in the rootfs. But never the less the result is a jffs2 image which i=
s not
usable. Mounting it on the host with mtdram mtdblock .... freezes the PC =
and on
the target I cannot mount it too.

So there should be an error message or something like "Omitting directory=
 xyz
from devtable already present"


2.
It is not possible to create a directory with devtable in "/"
Devtable contains this line

/opt   d  755     0       0       -       -       -       -       -

I get this message:

mkfs.jffs2: skipping device_table entry '/opt': no parent directory!



Please put me on CC, I am not subscribed to list.
