i have an (alleged) JFFS2 format file that i would like
to mount (via -o loop) and examine on my RH box, so i'm
trying to build in JFFS2 filesystem support.
i've taken a stock 2.4.18-14 kernel, added core MTD
support, which then allowed me to select JFFS2 support
from the filesystems menu, which i added as a module.
so far, so good.
rebooted, did a modprobe, which loaded jffs2, but
the mount command still does not appear to recognize
that filesystem type. when i tried to mount:
# mount -o loop -t jffs2 initrd.bin (mount point)
i got
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
or too many mounted file systems
i then noticed that the man page for "mount" doesn't list
jffs2 as a mountable filesystem type. do i need to upgrade
my mount RPM from the stock one that came with RH 8.0?
i'm just in the process of reading sources.redhat.com/jffs2
to see what else i need to know.
hints? advice? thanks.

p.s. at the moment, i'm not trying to format jffs2
filesystems, just mount them to look at them. once that
works, i'll get more ambitious later.
