But the deadlines prohibit us from upgrading it right now. In fact I have already fired up the board with 2.6.12-2 as stated earlier, but theres still a while till I get everything we have running on it. > > Where is the bug ? Well, the fact that it works without any changes in 2.6.x, and that I had to change it in 2.4. Basically, it seemed strange that rootflags is just passed in from do_mount, remains unchanged, and later reassigned to sb->flags in super.c.... seemed strange thats all. BTW I still need to find out whats done differently in 2.6.x. I'm not implying this is a jffs2 bug anywhere, I just posted this to see if anyone else observed this, since there are several others still using 2.4.19. Also, I didnt know of the cmdline way of doing this without hacking into the source. Call me a rookie if you want. Well, now I know :) Cheers, Ashwin **************************Disclaimer************************************ Information contained in this E-MAIL being proprietary to Aftek Infosys Limited is 'privileged' and 'confidential' and intended for use only by the individual or entity to which it is addressed.
