actual mtd snapshot and jffs3 questions

[Konstantin Kletschke]

Hi People!

Today I tried out the actual mtd cvs including jffs2 and jffs3.
Generally jffs2 works. 
I switchied compiling of jffs3 on also to test it
but in jffs3.h are #ifdefs in the lines 296 and
310 which I had to comment out.

#if defined CONFIG_JFFS3_FS_NAND || defined CONFIG_JFFS3_FS_NOR_ECC

Indeed I have no CONFIG_JFFS3_FS_NAND nor CONFIG_JFFS3_FS_NOR_ECC but
the code required the members of the struct and compiled fine then.

Another thing is:

make -C util
make: Entering directory `/usr/src/mtd/util'
gcc -I../include -O2 -Wall -g -c -o sumtool.o sumtool.c -g
-Wp,-MD,.sumtool.c.dep
sumtool.c:45:24: jffs3-user.h: No such file or directory

which is right, no such file :) Forgot cvs add?

How do I use jffs3? With a normal jffs2 filesystem created by actual
mkfs.jffs2?
I found no mkfs.jffs3 so I tried setting rootfstype=jffs2 to
rootfstype=jffs3 and booted:

That are bugs introduced by newly added summary patch. Hope Ferenc will 
fix (may be after holydays).

Strange. Will see. JFFS3 should mount JFFS2 images perfectly.

Ok, he should take the time he needs, I will do other work meanwhile :)

I forget this (I use svn) always and realize it when compiler breaks
with every new created file :)

eheee! should :) But nice to have this cleared up...
