Re: [Yaffs] Cannot allocate memory

Hi,

The mtd utilities might prove to be useful here.

Unmount the questionable filesystem and try

'flash_eraseall /dev/mtdX'

where X is the partition number you'd like to erase. You'll have to
reinstall the YAFFS image, I believe. You'll have to do this with the
partition unmounted.

You could also mount the newly erased partition and start writing files
into this new partition.
