Hi there,

are you guys working on full hard link support for mkfs.jffs2?

The man page states

"mkfs.jffs2 does not properly  handle  hard  links  in  the input 
directory  structure.  Currently, hard linked files will be expanded 
to multiple identical files in the output image."

Is that going to change?


Thanks,

Steven

Not that I had heard about it.

I hope so. Do you volunteer? :)
