Hi All,

I am working on kernel 2.6.14.3. I could successfully include the YAFFS in to my kernel.

I created a yaffs2.img file using the command

"mkyaffs2image /my_dir yaffs2.img"

after this I erased the flash using
"flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1"

After this I used nand write to write the yaffs2.img to /dev/mtd1

nandwrite -a -p /dev/mtd1 /yaffs2.img

after this I mount the flash partition

mount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock1 /mnt1

and do a 'ls'

ls /mnt1
to see only lost+found

I then create a file using vi and edit the file

I do an "ls" i can see the file and its contents. I "umount" the partition and mount again I again see only lost + found

If I do a nanddump I can see the contents of all the files that I had written!!!

Can anyone give me some pointers I have reached a dead end.

Thanks in advance.

regards,
shivas
