Normally you'd want to use JFFS2 on an MTD device (like NAND flash) ... > I would like to create a fat file system in mtd device in order to use this > partition for the usb mass storage device. That is, run g_file_storage on top of it? Hmm, if that's a flash device you won't get wear leveling out of it that way. You might be better off using a file system protocol over USB than a block storage protocol ... like PTP, NFS, or SMB over USB, talking to JFFS2. But you might be able to achieve what you're describing by using a loopback mount over the MTD device; I don't know whether that handles geometry translations. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
