Re: [Yaffs] yaffs2 not retaining file after remounting....

I had the same problem you must fix this issue in your mtd configuration.
go to drivers/mtd/nand/nand_base.c Edit the lines below with correct
settings it is related to oobdata. In our nand flash some bytes in spare
area is used to determine whether it is a bad block. it is in my case byte 0
byte 1 and byte 5 shows that my block is bad if they dont contain FF. so you
must read the manual and change the .oobfree area to a correct place

/*

static struct nand_oobinfo nand_oob_64 = {
        .useecc = MTD_NANDECC_AUTOPLACE,
        .eccbytes = 24,
        .eccpos = {
                40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,
                48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55,
                56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63},
        .oobfree = { {2, 38} }
};
*/

static struct nand_oobinfo nand_oob_64 = {
        .useecc = MTD_NANDECC_AUTOPLACE,
        .eccbytes = 24,
        .eccpos = {
                40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47,
                48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55,
                56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63
        },
        .oobfree = { {6, 34} }
};
