i'm sure i could verify this by RTFS but i've had a long week and i'm feeling lazy so ... is it true that i can protect an MTD partition from accidental overwriting by defining it in the map file with the MAP_WRITEABLE flag? and having done that, the only way to change that partition would be to use flash_unlock, write it, then flash_lock it again? as in, defining it with MAP_WRITEABLE is *exactly* equivalent to having locked it initially. or does that MAP_WRITEABLE mask flag mean something different? thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
