Hi,
I am using ARM9 based board with 512MB large page(2K page, 256K
Block) nand flash. The linux kernel version is 2.6.14 with yaffs
source on date July
12, 2007 from
http://www.aleph1.co.uk/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/yaffs2/.
The unpatched file yaffs2/yaffs_mtdif2.c is updated with
yaffs2/patches/yaffs_mtdif2.c
with some variable name fix to make is compilable.
The yaffs cofiguration is as follows:
CONFIG_YAFFS_FS=y
CONFIG_YAFFS_YAFFS1=y
# CONFIG_YAFFS_DOES_ECC is not set
CONFIG_YAFFS_YAFFS2=y
CONFIG_YAFFS_AUTO_YAFFS2=y
# CONFIG_YAFFS_DISABLE_LAZY_LOAD is not set
CONFIG_YAFFS_CHECKPOINT_RESERVED_BLOCKS=10
# CONFIG_YAFFS_DISABLE_WIDE_TNODES is not set
# CONFIG_YAFFS_ALWAYS_CHECK_CHUNK_ERASED is not set
CONFIG_YAFFS_SHORT_NAMES_IN_RAM=y
# CONFIG_JFFS_FS is not set
In the nand flash, there are 5 partition with last partition as
~450MB. The kernel boots up
from 2nd partition which have readonly yaffs2 image as rootfs. After
bootup, we are
mounting this ~450MB partition as yaffs2 and do read/write operation
as needed. We
are sometime shutting down the board without unmounting the ~450MB partition.
After many mount/read/write/unmount, the device failes in mounting the
~450MB partition
with following logs.
/ # mount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /pvr
yaffs: dev is 32505860 name is "mtdblock4"
yaffs: passed flags ""
yaffs: Attempting MTD mount on 31.4, "mtdblock4"
mount: Mounting /dev/mtdblock4 on /pvr failed: Invalid argument
/ #
The cat /proc/yaffs is as follows:
/ # cat /proc/yaffs

According to the logs It seems the issue due to uncleaned shutdown and
check-pointing. All suggestions are Welcome.
