Hi there,

I am having trouble creating a big endian image with the latest CVS version of
mkfs.jffs2!

> mkfs.jffs2 -d /tmp/initrd.tmp.5530 -o images/pFlashdisk -l -p
> hexdump -n 16 -x images/pFlashdisk 
0000000    1985    2003    000c    0000    b0b1    e41e    1985    e001

> mkfs.jffs2 -d /tmp/initrd.tmp.5530 -o images/pFlashdisk -b -p
> hexdump -n 16 -x images/pFlashdisk 
0000000    1985    2003    000c    0000    b0b1    e41e    1985    e001

Both options -l _and_ -b result in the same byteorder!!!

An older version (mkfs.jffs2 revision 1.28) shows

scholz@pinguin:~/Projekte/SELF> hexdump -n 16 -x images/pFlashdisk 
0000000    1985    e001    0032    0000    76f3    5037    0001    0000

for "-l" and 

scholz@pinguin:~/Projekte/SELF> hexdump -n 16 -x images/pFlashdisk 
0000000    8519    01e0    0000    3200    295a    e78c    0000    0100

when using "-b" !!!

Thanks,

Steven


BTW "mkfs.jffs2 -V" does _not_ work! "mkfs.jffs2 --version" works!
