Hi
Your action is so quickly! I have recieved your mail yesterday, and try
it, and have a same problem as you said. But I'm a new bie, maybe I can do
nothing for you. I just be very happy to receive first mail from this mail
list since 2 week ago.
I will read the source code this weekend, I hope i can do something for
us. Good Lucky!
I have found some problem before:
********************************
When i first put the yaffs in my uClinux-dist-20030909, I found something
error in the defining of yaffsObjectHeader
typedef struct
{
yaffs_ObjectType type;
int parentObjectId;
__u16 sum__NoLongerUsed;
char name[YAFFS_MAX_NAME_LENGTH + 1];
__u32 st_mode;
...
Because of byte align, a 2 bytes hole was inserted before st_mode when
kernel make. but there are no problem in user application.
I have change it in my code, add two bytes space after sum_NoLongerUsed.
and everything is ok.
*******************************
Another problem is in yaffs tools, there are many problem when make image
file, and I have change it.
Are these really bugs? Did you found and how to handle them?
> Hi, All,
