You are not getting any yaffs:xxx messages so it looks like the call is being
rejected by mount even before it gets to call any specific yaffs code.

You can also try turning on more yaffs tracing to see if that helps.

Not suprising. /dev/loop0 is a block device. YAFFS works with mtd devices.

yaffs requires a device, so I would not expect to see nodev.
