Re: Another problem with JFFS2

I found that the JFFS2 filesystem writes wrong erased block markers to
the flash. I think it is a compiler problem in erase.c. The values
(JFFS2_MAGIC_BITMASK, JFFS2_NODETYPE_CLEANMARKER,..) will not be
copied to the marker structure. In the assembly you can see that the
marker structure starts at fp-54 but the magic bitmask will be written
to fp-68.
I use the gcc 3.2.2 ( xscale platform).
If you think it's a compiler problem have you tried 3.3 ?
3.2.2 is known to miscompile at least the arm linux kernel...
Also there's the linux-mtd list where JFFS2 is discussed, and someone's
more likely to have come across this there.
