Re: [Yaffs] umount YAFFS2 block: the used NAND space was inc…

A global variable, yaffs_auto_checkpoint, control the checkpoint action, just like:
 If 0 only checkpoint on unmount.
 If 1 checkpoint on sync.
 If 2 checkpoint on write_super and sync.
 Default is 1.

I'd like to know what would happen if it was set to zero(yaffs_auto_checkpoint = 0), only a little slow during booting because it would check the whole NAND, was it?

Thanks!

Not sure how it can be disabled, but looking at http://www.yaffs.net/yaffs-tuning-and-configuration#Initialisation_Parameters it seems possible. 
If you redo the math I think you will find that the difference was 128k after all, but perhaps you did that already. :)

Ketil,
It seemed the checkpoint action caused the error,could i abandon it, or anything could i do?

Best Regards!

Could it perhaps be a yaffs2 checkpoint that was written on unmount so that it'll mount quickly next time?


Cheers, Ketil

Hi, 
I utilized yaffs2 to K9F2G08(1Page=2K+64Bytes), the kernel was linux2.6.12. All seemed OK except the command, umount, was executed, the used space would be increased, each time, when a umount command followed by the mount command. What's wrong with it.

The following was the infoes.

Thanks!

[root@INTUM /]$mount
