[Yaffs] yaffs2 image

Hello,

I have an old device that uses yaffs2 and it runs I need to take an
image of it so I could boot it off of it later incase I screw up my
current files.



I usually do dd if /dev/mtd1 and of nfsmount/backup-file



But unfortunately the backup-file doesn't bootup from my ppcboot.



It said that it needs the first block to be empty hence I opened the
binary file and removed the whole block but now it says bad page.



Plz help create a bootable yaffs2 image.



I used the tools ./mkyaffs2image / imagefile



But the imagefile seems to be too big and got stuck at Object 1231,
//proc/cpuinfo is a file, 1 data chunks written





Any tips and tricks is also welcome



Thanks,

Vijay.
