RE: ext2 filesystem on 256MB nand flash

Nah, I can build the jffs2 image fine.  The pad will only make the file
bigger, but at least when I issue 'df', it knows that the filesystem is on a
256 mb partition and can therefore, use all of that even though the jffs2
file itself is only 8 mb.

When I build a ext2 filesystem, it is around 10 meg, and when I do a 'df',
it shows the it believes the whole partition is right around that 10 meg
value.  I can make it have additional blocks, but then the file just gets
bigger and bigger (and I only have a 16MB SDRAM to load it from).

Thanks for the suggestion.  I may need to direct the question over there.
Just thought that someone else may be using ext2 on a large flash and knows
the correct parameter to set it up correctly (as I apparently do not.  :) )

Thanks
Christopher
