As I mentioned before, this is working fine for me.

As I already posted to this list, I addressed this issue last weekend as
we needed this functionality. It took a day to figure out what needed
doing, update bootldr, update the kernel (this was for auto resizing the
boot partition) and modify mkyaffsimage to be a useable mkyaffs2image.
Its not scary and its the same issue (or was) for jffs2 that has hardly
died a death either.
