<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello fellow yaffers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I wanted to know what was the
difference between and unlinked directory and a deleted directory. The
reason why I am asking is that I currently testing a system with yaffs2 file
system. When I remove a file from the yaffs system, I look at the
nFreeChunks variable under /proc/yaffs and see that the total space hasn't been
totally recovered. I seem to be losing a Chunks or pages with each file
creation and deletion. This problem becomes amplified when I do
unscheduled power-off's and on's. After about an hour, creating and
removing files and rebooting I have about 90% of the nand flash available for
use. The number of bad blocks still remain the same, I know this because
the bad block table given during boot up is the same and the bad block table
given during yaffs_ScanBackwards is the same. Any help would be
appreciated?</FONT></DIV>
