I found that when a jffs2 system is mounted for the first time with something in the filesystem it goes through some kind of cataloging function where I'm guessing it is characterizing the device for bad flash bytes? Anyways, if you do a 'df' in another shell while it is sitting there you will see that the device is mounted and that the used space first slowly cycles to fully used then slowly back down to the correct used space. I'm sure someone else could enlighten us both as to what it is actually doing during this time. Once it completes this cycle everything is fine and it doesn't do it on subsequent mounts. Depending on the flash size this could take quite a while. Hope this helps.

If I cp a jffs2.img to the device the mount will also lockup If I erase -> mount I can create files df with no problems, It seem like the mount does not like mounting with anything in the filesystem ! What infomation should I gather to find out whats gonig on here ? Any help greatly appreciated, TIA, Frank. ______________________________________________________ Linux MTD discussion mailing list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-mtd/
