Hi David,
This has been a problem I've seen for a while. I've generated a jffs2 image
of an empty directory (I don't recall the version of the jffs2 utils I've
used to generate it). I mount the jffs2 image something like this:
# cp jffs2-empty.img /tmp/fs.0
# losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/fs.0
# modprobe block2mtd block2mtd=/dev/loop0,128ki
# mount -t jffs2 mtd0 /n/lower/b0
Then I start running my tests in it (in /n/lower/b0). I get a lot of these
two kinds of console printk messages (esp. the first one):
CLEANMARKER node found at 0x00810000, not first node in block (0x00800000)
Empty flash at 0x0080ff70 ends at 0x00810000
I don't know how serious the messages are, but jffs2 seems to work fine for
me even with those many kernel messages scrolling off of my screen. I could
not find a way to turn off these warnings: jffs2's debugging config options
allow me to turn on more messages, but not to turn off these.
Is there a way to prevent these messages from showing up? Are they serious?
Is my jffs2 image bad/corrupt? If so, how should I fix it?
In the mean time, I've been using the small patch below to turn the above
two messages into jffs2 debugging messages.
Thanks,
Erez.
