Hi all,
We're experiencing what appear to be file system corruption due to power
fail. I just got done looking at a nanddump of a yaffs2 file system that
looks like the block header (first page in the block) was overwritten
with garbage data (can't tell whether it's "good" data from some where
else yet).
I thought that Yaffs2 would try to read the file system and place unruly
pages in lost+found, but I clearly read the code incorrectly, because
that's not what happens.
I'm running 2.4.27 linux with the latest yaffs2 tarball. I'm unable to
quickly move to 2.6.
