block2mtd usage info for Linux 2.6.16

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
As we don't have the h/w for our project, we want to use the hard drive as an mtd device with jffs2 file system. For this we plan to use block2mtd available in 2.6.16 kernel. Can anybody provide some information on exact usage of block2mtd as a module?
We've googled and there seems to be a real dearth of information on this.

We've also tried the following to load the block2mtd module:
mknod b /dev/mtdblock0 31 0
modprobe block2mtd block2mtd=/dev/hda3  (our home dir is mounted on hda3, so is this correct?)

The dmesg output is:
"Unable to open /dev/mtdblock0"


Any pointers are welcome.

Thanks,
Indraneel
