Hi,

I have the same question. I have tried to modify device.startBlock = 0, But I found that there is much code use 0 to check chunkId validation. So I have to map logical block n to physical block n-1. That is the dev->startBlock(=1) is mapped to physical block 0. It's OK now.

For example:
yaffs_PutChunkIntoFile()
{
	existingChunk = tn->level0[chunkInInode & YAFFS_TNODES_LEVEL0_MASK];		

    ... ...
	if(existingChunk == 0)
	{
		in->nDataChunks++;
	}
	
}

yaffs_DeleteChunk()
{
    if( chunkId <= 0 )
        return;
}

yaffs_GetObjectName()
{
	else if(obj->chunkId <= 0)
	{
		char locName[20];
		sprintf(locName,"%s%d",YAFFS_LOSTNFOUND_PREFIX,obj->objectId);
		strncpy(name,locName,buffSize - 1);
	}
}
	

Best regards
guxm
