There are a few ways to check everything is there:

1) cat /proc/filesystems
That lists the file systems available. You should see yaffs2 in the list.
Without yaffs2 in the list, mount -t yaffs2 ... will not work anyway.

2) cat /proc/yaffs
This will show info on the currently mounted yaffs partitions. You should see
things change if you create files etc.

3) dmesg
This shows kernel messages. There should be some yaffs messages. You can
control yaffs tracing by using the yaffs tracing mechanism.

That sounds correct.

That only tracks certain file systems. It does not track all file systems.
