RE: problems on building root filesystem using scratchbox and meamo

["xuxian" <lsfdxuxian@gmail.com>]

Hi,

What part decides the size of erase block? The hardware, the kernel or the
root filesystem?

Best regards,
xuxian

	For my OSK, -e 0x20000 is the correct size; the command I use is
basically the same as you.

	If you mount your filesystem as an NFS root rather than an image,
then
you can read /proc/mtd, but I would say you are most likely correct in
your erase size.

	I am not familiar with scratchbox or maemo, so it is possible your
problem relates to them, but I cannot be sure.  Sorry, I probably will
not be of much help here.
