Did all that happen just from the mount or did you do something between 
mounting and crashing? It seems that the scanning itself went fine.

One of the best things you can do at this point is to turn on a bit more 
tracing. tracing is controlled by yaffs_traceMask in yaffs_fs.c. Set it to 
0xFFFFFFFF and you'll get everything.

Are you using yaffs or yaffs2 codebase?
