Subject: jffs on non-MTD device?
Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 00:52:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010525005253.A16005@bug.ucw.cz> (raw)

Hi!

I'm trying to run jffs on my ATA-flash disk (running ext2 could kill
some flash cells too soon, right?) but it refuses:

        if (MAJOR(dev) != MTD_BLOCK_MAJOR) {
                printk(KERN_WARNING "JFFS: Trying to mount a "
                       "non-mtd device.\n");
                return 0;
        }

What are reasons for this check?

								Pavel
