Hi Charles,

Thanks for your advise. The problem is solved. That is the problem with mtd driver, since mtd driver do the hardware ECC so that yaffs tag is written incorrectly. I just disable the hardware ECC in mtd driver and the yaffs works well now.
Just wonder if i can disable the ECC of yaffs and enable the ECC of mtd driver ? I have try this but it is unsuccessful b/c of incorrect tag.

Thanks
Tung

The most likely issue is that the tags are not being written and restored
correctly due to an issue in the mtd.

I suggest two things:
1) Turn on more tracing in both yaffs and mtd to see if this helps.  Google
for yaffs tracing to see how to do that.

2) Starting with an erased flash, just write a small file and see what the
nand contents looks like.
