Re: jffs2 creat file error


Hello Srinivas,

I had the same problem with that magic bitmask. For all 32b words in flash it gives that message. Your system probably does not hang, at mount time it just prints that message for each 4B of your flash ...

The problem is that your flash is not "formatted". You just have to mark all empty nodes of your flash as unused with that magic bitmask. I have added a "format jffs2" command to redboot that we run for each new board. Maybe I should commit this to ecos if someone could use this..

And for ARM platforms, there is a bug in gcc that prevents to solve the magic bitmask problem when noticed. With that bug solved, the first time you get all those errors printed, but they are solved by writing the correct magic bitmask.

/* 		struct jffs2_unknown_node marker = { */
/* 			.magic =	cpu_to_je16(JFFS2_MAGIC_BITMASK), */
/* 			.nodetype =	cpu_to_je16(JFFS2_NODETYPE_CLEANMARKER), */
/* 			.totlen =	cpu_to_je32(c->cleanmarker_size) */
/* 		}; */
/* patch from 2003-08-04  <Øyvind Harboe <oyvind.harboe@zylin.com> because of
   broken arm-elf-gcc 3.2.1
   http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-patches/2003-08/msg00006.html */
		struct jffs2_unknown_node marker;
		memset(&marker, 0, sizeof(marker));
		marker.magic =	cpu_to_je16(JFFS2_MAGIC_BITMASK);
		marker.nodetype =	cpu_to_je16(JFFS2_NODETYPE_CLEANMARKER);
		marker.totlen =	cpu_to_je32(c->cleanmarker_size);
