I misspoke about my kernel Oops, when I unmount after touching a file on
my YAFFS2 partition, it erely gives me a call trace.
I erased my flash partition before executing these commands:
# mount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt/mtdb4
# cat /proc/yaffs

I then unmounted the partition without attempting to edit any files,
followed by a remount:
# umount /mnt/mtdb4
# mount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt/mtdb4
# cat /proc/yaffs

This is what happens when I touch a file and unmount:
# touch /mnt/mtdb4/file0
# umount /mnt/mtdb4
VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice
day...
idr_remove called for id=4 which is not allocated.
