The backfile for this mass storage is a "file.img" in the /home/root directory created
with the dd command as below
dd if=/dev/zero of=file.img bs=1024 count=0 seek=$[1024*512]

The script I use for activating mass storage is as below:

/bin/mount none /mnt -t configfs
/bin/mkdir /mnt/usb_gadget/g1
cd /mnt/usb_gadget/g1
/bin/mkdir configs/c.1
/bin/mkdir functions/mass_storage.0
echo /home/root/file.img > functions/mass_storage.0/lun.0/file
/bin/mkdir strings/0x409
/bin/mkdir configs/c.1/strings/0x409
echo 0x006a > idProduct
echo 0x15a2 > idVendor
echo Freescale123 > strings/0x409/serialnumber
echo Freescale > strings/0x409/manufacturer
echo "Mass Storage Gadget" > strings/0x409/product
echo "Conf 1" > configs/c.1/strings/0x409/configuration
echo 200 > configs/c.1/MaxPower
ln -s functions/mass_storage.0 configs/c.1
echo ci_hdrc.0 > UDC

> You mean without this errata, running bonnie++ will meet error?

No, I didn't mean that. I meant if I do something like

sudo /usr/bin/bonnie++ -m Vybrid -r 256 -d /var/run/media/sanchayan/Vybrid/ -x 5 -u root -n 0

then this gives me an error. Not aware of the bonnie++ internals, but, I guess
this would be because bonnie++ uses some higher multiple of the block size to
write and the storage is much lesser than that. The exact output for this case
is as below

[sanchayan@Sanchayan-Arch ~]$ sudo /usr/bin/bonnie++ -m Vybrid -r 256 -d /var/run/media/sanchayan/Vybrid/ -x 5 -u root -n 0
