Re: [android-kernel] froyo : ext4 instead of yaffs2

Hi andria, you can't mount ext4 on top of a mtd device. It requires to have a block device mtd is a flash devices. Becuase ext4 don't know about wearleaving and other flash specefic things you can not use it directly on top of a flash device. cheers Kolja On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 2:14 PM, andria

Re: [android-kernel] froyo : ext4 instead of yaffs2

Also, in Froyo, it might not be a good idea to enable ext4. Because the framework code may not be handling the buffering issue for ext4, as being done in GB. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/12/saving-data-safely.html

Re: [android-kernel] froyo : ext4 instead of yaffs2

Hello Andria, I am assuming you built the driver as part of kernel aend did not make it a module. Also, how are ensuring while building the system.img, and ramdisk.img, proper ext4 filesystems are being built. Can you share the command line, or make file changes? Thanks, Arindam On Mon, May 9, 201

[android-kernel] froyo : ext4 instead of yaffs2

Hi, I'm trying to moun /data with ext4 instead of yaffs2 on a froyo emulator. 1- I enabled the support of ext3 and ext4 in the .config and built a new kernel 2- I launched the emulator with the new zImage to make sure that there was no error. No error 3- I replaced yaffs2 with ext4 in the init.rc
