JFFS2
« on: December 02, 2011, 08:56:30 AM »
Greetings Fellow Tiny-ixers!

I want to create a JFFS2 partition and mount it to use as the single partition TCL will live on. Any advice, I can't seem to find any tools or extensions to do so.

All the best!

Hi crichton
filesystems-2.6.33.3-tinycore.tcz contains JFFS2 support.

Do you mean installed on and booted from?

Yeah, I mean installed and booted from.  :D

I've installed 'filesystems-3.0.3-tinycore.tcz' - are there some sort of invocation of mkfs.jffs I'm missing?

I'm not sure JFFS support is available at boot time without remastering.

Hi crichton
Sorry about that, filesystems just contains the drivers for reading and writing. To format, I think you
need a package like mtd-tools, which is not currently in the repository.

Yeah, well I guess I'll have to look into remastering my ISO, and building mtd-tools as a package. Surprsing SquashFS in implemented as default, yet no JFFS2. I guess it's not often used on FlashRAM devices.

I'll keep you good folks posted.
