Subject: Latest jffs2 broken?
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2005 17:36:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1124840186.7086.19.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

I am trying to use the latest mtd from cvs. There appears to be a
problem with jffs2 -- I'm surprised this has not tripped up anyone else
yet. I am seeing a kernel oops when I do the following procedure: erase
an mtd partition, mount the partition as jffs2, touch a file, unmount,
and remount.

This is fully reproducible for me. I am running the latest mtd cvs (as
of 8/23/2005) on a 2.6.10 kernel. I am using a 32MB partition for this
test, but it is not obvious that the partition size matters. My nand
part has a 2048-byte page size and 128 kB eraseblock size.

I have included the output showing the problem. Debug level is set to 1.

Has anyone else run into this?

Pete
