Thanks for the pointer. I will have a look, but I am not sure it really 
does want I want.

Yeah - that would be me - we are doing embedded Linux - today I can take 
the same directory structure and run it through mkjffs2 and genext2fs (both 
pointing to the same device_table. Our make does both at the same time. If 
I need to mess around with fakeroot, it seems like I need to do something 
that only is needed for YAFFS?

The dist we are using is uClinux - which supports lots of boards, and lots 
of platforms - all built with device tables. It would be nice to move 
something that worked the same way so when we added YAFFS, it wasn't just 
for a few platforms.

Thanks
