I add more information about dev->nErasedBlocks initial /proc/yaffs: / # cat /proc/yaffs Device 0 "nand_nda" startBlock......... 0 endBlock........... 255 totalBytesPerChunk. 2048 nDataBytesPerChunk. 2048 chunkGroupBits..... 0 chunkGroupSize..... 1 nErasedBlocks...... 256 after I write one 1MB file by open() and write() function: / # cat /proc/yaffs Device 0 "nand_nda" startBlock......... 0 endBlock........... 255 totalBytesPerChunk. 2048 nDataBytesPerChunk. 2048 chunkGroupBits..... 0 chunkGroupSize..... 1 nErasedBlocks...... 239 This 1MB file eats 17 blocks ( 17*64*2048 Bytes = 2,228,224 Bytes). It's queer. I use "cp" command. nErasedBlocks is correct. / # cp file_1 /mnt/f0/ / # cat /proc/yaffs Device 0 "nand_nda" startBlock......... 0 endBlock........... 255 totalBytesPerChunk. 2048 nDataBytesPerChunk. 2048 chunkGroupBits..... 0 chunkGroupSize..... 1 nErasedBlocks...... 247 Best Regards.
