Another mkfs.jffs2 question pagesize verse size of image?

[Carlos, John J USAATC]

Hi,

  I run mkfs.jffs2 on my host.  When I use defaults to create image and the
try to write to the DOC using nandwrite I get input file is not page
aligned.  When I try to create the jffs2 image using the -s 512 and -e 32768
my image grows to large.  Should the values of page size be 512 bytes " from
documentation pdf file" and 32768 erase size as reported by mtd_debug???????

Thanks
John

nandwrite does not work on DOC if you use the DOC driver in mtd/devices. JFFS2 
does neither.

Dan Brown is working on the DOC code which uses the generic nand driver code 
and can be used with JFFS2 and the nand tools.

Read the maillist archive and contact Dan.
