JFI,is correct that the config switch above doesn't do anything? yaffs2-git$ grep YAFFS_DISABLE_BACKGROUND * Kconfig_multi:config YAFFS_DISABLE_BACKGROUND it doesn't depend on anything (apart YAFFS_FS) and isn't used nowhere. (and at a deeper look also for YAFFS_XATTR is the same) Is this for some kind of retro-compatibility? is this a bug? Thanks. -- Andrea Gasparini ---- ImaVis S.r.l. ---- web: www.imavis.com
