Just to update and close this conversation with a better understanding of my problem and providing solution:
I basically had 2 problems: 1. When calling *smart_initialize() *and *nx_mount()* , I had "no low level format" error. To fix that, I needed to force format using the following command: *mksmartfs -f /dev/smartn* where n is the minor number used in the *smart_initialize()* function. Then, I reset the board and mount was ok. Note: if you don't force (use -f) it won't work. 2. Some of the intermittent I/O errors I had that I was not able to describe, because it happened to some files but not to others, was a very simple isse: it was related to the filename's size. Which default is 16. Some configs you should select/configure when using SMART FS: CONFIG_FS_SMARTFS=y CONFIG_MTD_SMART=y CONFIG_NAME_MAX=64 CONFIG_SMARTFS_MAXNAMLEN=64 Em seg., 9 de ago. de 2021 às 10:38, Sara da Cunha Monteiro de Souza < saramonteirosouz...@gmail.com> escreveu: > Hi Ken, > > Thank you.
