Hi Bernd,

Thanks for your timely response and hoping for the best...

When i applied the patch . I got following error in the compilation

so i did some relevant changes as following and able to compile properly.
But this time after the mount when i run "df -h" command. It showing
complete space as used space and not allowing to add any new file to it...
Its showing complete size as bad blocks (not as permannetly for this image
only..)

the main changes i have done is
nBytesPerChunk to nDataBytesPerChunk
mtd->oobinfo.oobfree[j][0] to 2 and mtd->oobinfo.oobfree[j][1] to 38
also did some modification for funcs read_oob ,read_ecc & write_ecc.

Regards & Thanks
