Yaffs will mount on any nand mtdblock without complaint. There is no "formatting" with yaffs identification. This has been a bit of a nuissance when automounting block devices but there it is.

Thank You,

Maybe you could answer my question:

I was able to compile the latest yaffs from the cvs repository for a 2.4.18 kernel and it appears to work fairly well.

My only issue is when I attempt to mount yaffs on a non-yaffs partition with files (e.g. jffs2), I expected the mount to return an error, but instead it mounted the jffs2 partition showing only the lost+found directory with no other files.  The 'df' reported the partition having used data equal to what the jffs2 partition had used.

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks

Jim

It is, but things have been quiet recently over summer holidays. We're eagerly awaiting reports on YAFFS2 from Charles Manning.
