Hi there!
I'm developing for a arm cirrus ep9302-based board target. The build
system was based on an older mtd version. I upgraded to version 1.0.
Now, it seems i have a problem using sumtool (that was never used before
by build system after creating jffs2).

I correctly made my jffs2 filesystem for my on-board flash (intel, NOR
type, 128Kb x 128 blocks) with this cmd:

mkfs.jffs2 --pad=$((8*1024*1024)) --eraseblock=$((128*1024)) -d
/opt/mydir -o image.jffs2

Then i called sumtool with:

sumtool --pad --eraseblock=$((128*1024)) --input=image.jffs2
--output=image2.jffs2

The problem is that the second images was really smaller than the first
one (384Kb).

Why that?
Sumtool dont give me any error!

Bye,
