Thank You,

Maybe you could answer my question:

I was able to compile the latest yaffs from the cvs repository for a 2.4.18
kernel and it appears to work fairly well.

My only issue is when I attempt to mount yaffs on a non-yaffs partition with
files (e.g. jffs2), I expected the mount to return an error, but instead it
mounted the jffs2 partition showing only the lost+found directory with no
other files.  The 'df' reported the partition having used data equal to what
the jffs2 partition had used.

Is this expected behavior?

Thanks

Jim

It is, but things have been quiet recently over summer holidays. We're
eagerly awaiting reports on YAFFS2 from Charles Manning.
