jffs2 filesystem image

Hello, Can someone tell me how to create and use a jffs2 filesystem image ? I have correctly partitionned my flash, and I can mount it (in /home for now). I would like to use it for things ...

Hi pod,

Here's the format. For more details see mkfs.jffs2.c. 

/*  device table entries take the form of:
    <path>    <type> <mode>    <uid>    <gid>    <major>    <minor>    <start>    <inc>    <count>
    /dev/mem    c      640      0       0       1       1       0        0        -
    type can be one of: 
    f    A regular file
    d    Directory
    c    Character special device file
    b    Block special device file
    p    Fifo (named pipe)
    I don&#39;t bother with symlinks (permissions are irrelevant), hard
    links (special cases of regular files), or sockets (why bother).
    Regular files must exist in the target root directory.  If a char,
    block, fifo, or directory does not exist, it will be created.
*/

The &#39;#&#39; starts a comment line ... but it must be the first character of the

line.
