Hi All,

	How does one mount an existing jffs2 partition so it is writeable?
After a reboot I can mount my jffs2 and read from it, but not write to it
I can erase it first and mount it then read and write to it , but then I
lose my info on it which defeats the whole reason for having it.


Here is what I am doing.


[/]# MAKEDEV
[/]# mkdir gpig         
[/]# mount /dev/mtdblock3 /gpig
[/]# cd gpig
[/gpig]# ls
kernel_192e_V0.0.03ps
[/gpig]# cp ../bin/MAKEALL .
cp: ../bin/MAKEALL: No such file or directory
[/gpig]# 
[/gpig]# cp ../bin/MAKEDEV .
Write of 68 bytes at 0x00059a28 failed. returned 0, retlen 0
Not marking the space at 0x00059a28 as dirty because the flash driver returned retlen
zero
cp: ./MAKEDEV: Input/output error
[/gpig]# 
 
What step am I missing?


Thanks in advance

	Conn
