Interesting issue:
I mounted a usb DVD without specifying a file system eg "mount
/dev/scsi/..blah1../cd /mnt/hda" and to my surprise I found a copy of a
yaffs fs from /dev/mtdblock/1 mounted instead - after going through ext2
ext3 vfat etc and deciding that yaffs was its true fs.
It seems that yaffs assumes that it is only ever mounted on a mtd device and
that it only needs to glance at its minor number to work out which device to
use from which it checks to see if it is indeed a nand device.
In this case is decided that the "1" from the scsi block device meant
/dev/mtdblock/1 (that is my nand boot partition) and not letting the scsi
iso9660 filesystem mount as I expected.
Needs fixing - Charles?
