The ramdisk rootfs is ext2 filesystem and I try, mount /mnt/mtd/etc /etc Try to modify /etc/ files is not works. > yes, this is possible > >> I know the flash has write times limited so the log files >> (syslogd/klogd) should not store in flash.

I think the rootfs is build as ramdisk and some configurable file is store in jffs2 flash. Thank your reply. BRs, H.
