do you happen to have an affs disk image, by any chance? I need to make
few changes in the affs file-system in the linux kernel but and I would
like to test them. But unfortunately, I was not able to find any working
way of formatting my dist to affs.

http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/affstools-0.1a.tar.gz contains an mkaffs tool.

Hope this helps...

Hi, thanks, I tried it and it worked neither for files nor for block
device nodes, I do not know why. But I've found a different mkfs.affs

Strange. I did try it yesterday (without mounting the result, though).

Did you pass a volume name as second parameter?

Actually not, the --help output looks like this:

$ ./mkaffs --help
Usage: mkaffs [OPTION...] devicefile name

and I thought that "devicefile name" means "/dev/vda", I did not figure
out that "name" is another argument.

I decided that it is a piece of old and non-working code and did not try
to look at the source code, but I probably should have to.

Sorry for the noise.
