I'm using UBIFS in my "hybrid" OM2008 (still :P) based distro for some months; In my case I had to backport the kernel patches too, then I used an SD installation of SHR to flash the generated ubi image in my nand via ubiformat (which is a LOT faster than using dfu-util; with it flashing an ubi image takes just few minutes). I've still some issues on creating a correct ubi image by the way; the hardware parameters returned by ubinfo (in a distro running a kernel >= 2.6.30) doesn't seem to be correct, and I've to force the page size anyway. Coming back on the Mickey's question, however, I've to say that I've noticed a nice speed improvement on booting and on running many applications. PS: It works well using uBoot too with adding these cmdline parameters: rootfstype=ubifs ubi.mtd=6,2048 root=ubi0:rootfs _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
