<snip> >hmmh, are you looking for the --pad parameter of mkfs.jffs2? 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). >maybe you will get more answers on the linux-mtd mailing list. This is >where the mtd experts hang out. 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 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
