When trying jffs, i found that it required mtdblock to be mounted on. With this requirement i dont see any other way how to get my desired setup with partitioned flash (except for ext3 on ntfl, but that doesnt seem to be ported to 2.4 (i havent checked latest status)). So it seems i have to use compressed loop over jffs on mtdblock. Does anybody have such a config working ? When i tried to dd if=rootfs.jffs of=/dev/mtdblock/0 i got end_request: I/O error, dev 1f:00 (mtdblock) sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 1f:00 (mtdblock) sector 254 etc. every 254 blocks and dd hung in D state (__wait_on_buffer+0x4c) Is it a known problem ? Does any have cloop working on 2.4 (on first try the compilation choked .. i'll have a closer look whether it was my fault or not).
