m-systems doc 2000 : no free space left

[oskaya]

i have a icp amd k6 based embedded system with msystems 2000 flash disk . I
was able to access flash disk device after loading the modules as listed in
one of previous mails . It detects the disk in three pieces at 0xd6000
address . After running MAKEDEV in utils directory i can fdisk to the
/dev/nftla device . I'm running linux kernel 2.4.0.

The problem with the flash disk is while formatting the device with
mkfs.ext2 /dev/nftla
It runs without any problems for some duration .Later it gives an error
with an argh message stating that it has reached to the end of the device
and no free space is left . 

Then i thought that i should grab the latest version from mtd site . The
snapshot i have downloaded doesn't seem to compile in this case . Any
idea...

You didn't quote the message so I can only guess - but I think this is a 
problem which I've recently fixed in the CVS tree. Did you see the message
"Cannot make free space." ?

It should compile. Again, you didn't quote the errors so I haven't got any 
chance to tell you what's wrong.

   here i'm at work in order to grab the latest version from cvs and give
msystems flashdisk a try ...
   I have downloaded the latest version using cvs  commands found in mtd
home page . At first i tried to compile it by typing make at the source
directory . It gave some errors related to something is not defined . Then
i decided to compile it by putting it in the kernel with applying
patchin.sh and building it as module . I was able to compile the modules .
I run insmod command in the order provided in a previous mail . It finds
Diskonchip at 0xd6000 address . The same things occurred . It has gone to a
deadlock while making filesystem . The message is below :

writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information : Argh ! No free
blocks found ! LastFreeEUN=3068 FirstEUN = 32768 .

M-Systems DiskOnChip driver...
Using configured probe address 0xd6000
DiskOnChip 2000 found at address 0xd6000
Cannot calculate an NFTL geometry to match size of 0xbba0.

Please show all the messages verbatim. Did it say anything else after 
that? It should have done.
