I have a patch to list multiple yaffs filesystems in /proc/yaffs.
I sent it to Charles yesterday.  If one needs it NOW send me
e-mail.

BTW, if you change any of the yaffs data structs, be sure to do
"make clean; make" -- otherwise code and data don't match and
this usually results in a crash.  The Makefile does *not* handle
any dependancies!

Same goes for MTD vs. YAFFS.  If you change MTD, be sure to 
rebuild yaffs.
