2011-09-30 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi, Unfortunately I haven't made enough progress on the XO-1 ubifs issues so I'm planning to drop us back to JFFS2 for the first release candidate of 11.3.0. ubifs still remains as a very easy build customisation. The main outstanding problems are that we have some systems which fail to boot,
