Subject: workstation mount of jffs2 and endianess
Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2004 11:20:26 +1300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <401ECD2A.4070106@tait.co.nz> (raw)

Greetings

Is it possible to mount a bigendian jffs2 filesystem image (via blkmtd 
or whatever) on a little endian host system (i.e. a PC workstation)?

If so, where do I tell the system what the endianess is? At present I 
get errors during mount (which if the endianess is not known I'd expect) 
of the form:
losetup /dev/loop3 /home/gilksr/jffs2.fs
insmod blkmtd erasesz=64 device=/dev/loop3
mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/0 /mnt/root_fs
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop3,
        or too many mounted file systems

I've checked that I can create and loop mount a l-e filesystem but the 
target I'm working with is a powerpc that I want to keep as natively b-e.
