It does NOT. Now it crashes the kernel. When using it as a root FS the very

mount attempt results in syslog full of "kernel: yaffs tragedy: attempting
to use non-directory as a directory in scan. Put in lost+found." messages.

What production quality are you talking about, guys? Storing a couple of
non-essential data files off of a real filesystem?

YAFFS1 used to work to some extent. Less for those floods of "**>>ecc error
unfixed" raised every single week in the list and usual reply "Fix your MTD"
as it is something to fix there it somehow managed to survive with a root
filesystem on it. YAFFS2 "compatibility mode" is total junk. Dunno about
real YAFFS2 but watching that sorry state of YAFFS1 I'm pretty sure it's
also unusable.

BTW, it is NOT a good idea to nail down a yaffs module configuration with
that "moduleconfig.h" file. Less for compiler complaints it makes the entire
weirdo kinda funny when mututally exclusive options got picked up from that
file and kernel config...
