Subject: making jffs2 writes permanent
Date: Wed, 03 Mar 2004 16:48:26 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <s0460c6e.082@gwise1.sanmina-sci.com> (raw)

I was able to do the following:

eraseall /dev/mtd/0

This produced a long long list of ioctl messages, ending in the entire
64M block erased. The following session ensued:


# cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 04000000 00010000 "Physically mapped flash"
mtd1: 04000000 00010000 "my_jffs2"
mtd2: 00400000 00020000 "mtdram test device"

# mkdir /mnt/mydev
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/1 /mnt/mydev

--------------------------------------

Upon rebooting the system, the /mnt directory no longer exists. I can
recreate it and remount the jffs2 device, but of course the directory is
empty and the file files.txt that I copied in is now gone. I see no
indication that the flash is seeing any physical writes at all. What am
I missing?
