Subject: How to use MTD
Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 23:54:31 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200003010754.XAA00389@berkeley.innomedia.com> (raw)
I'd really like to start experimenting with MTD, but I'm afraid I've only
got half a clue about how to use it.
Here's what I'd like to do:
1) Create an ext2 filesystem on an mtd block device and mount
it read-write from linux. This is to experiment with MTD
without the flash.
2) Create an ext2 filesystem on a set of flash devices from an
embedded system running linux. The underlying flash devices
are Intel's StrataFlash; they support CFI and JEDEC.
To accomplish (1), I thought I should:
# insmod mtd
# insmod slram
# insmod mtdblock
# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/mtdblock0
but mkfs says:
mke2fs 1.15.6, 13-Aug-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/mtdblock0: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up superblock
Can someone please explain the fundamentals?
Thanks!
