I | am just wondering about partition type and size if I just copy the | cramfs image to a partition. AFAIK, the partition (or chunk of raw flash) you copy the cramfs image file to simply has to be *BIGGER* than the image. Any extra space is simply wasted (this is a read-only filesystem, after all). Also, I don't think there is a partition type code specific for cramfs (this FS is mainly used in raw flash or as a ramdisk image, after all). That shouldn't be a problem, however...just use whatever code you want (ie: 0x83, 0xcf, whatever). The kernel typically identifies cramfs partitions via a 'magic number' at the start of the filesystem data, rather than via partition type codes (only available on HDD and similar media) anyway. - -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCuYnxLywbqEHdNFwRAlGXAKCizcCVtCF7PFLevlog+R2bosP00ACeN5Xt J//w+orAVsEN63JxR/aV4Lo= =aglg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
