Hi folks,
I experienced a problem that starts from 1.15
In my embedded system I used "cp kernelimagename /dev/mtdblock1" to upgrade
the kernel compressed image in flash.
/dev/mtdblockX is a block device node to address mtd partitions. I use jffs2
on nand flash.
I know this is not correct because I should use nandwrite, copying directly
to partition doesn't care of bad blocks in nand jffs2 but it works if you
don't have any bad block in the destination area (99% of cases).
Anyway, I think this argument is the same also for others not fault-tolerant
medias, that can be operated with cp to a device node
Starting from busybox 1.15, it does no more copy the image to partition, but
it overwrites the device node with the file itself.
Is this correct ?
Thanks
Davide Rizzo
