Unfortunately time constraints for the project dont allow me to hack jffs now. I'd prefer to have one r/o partition with cramfs (mounted on /usr) to be able to upload the whole filesystem at once even on on the running box. Compressed jffs case also would be a bit more difficult to update live. Even if i had JFFS working, more viable option would be to use partitioned mtd a'la pnc2000.c. Not having ext3 for 2.4 leaves me with the option of either using reiserfs or ext2/minix and living with fsck. Regards pkx To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
