Hello, I would like to create 2 cramfs filesystems on my flash so that I can copy the kernel and the root filesystem on each, but I am having trouble getting mkcramfs to run on my target. I built it on the host with the cross-compiler and when I ran it on the target, I got the error:
"mkcramfs: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory". So I proceeded to statically link mkcramfs and libz.so.1. The filesize grew from 79169 to about 1,719,000 bytes. I am using the SELF set of tools and kernel from DENX and it contains a Ramdisk which seems to be limited to about 2MB (I'm just speculating here), because when I ran the mkcramfs utility (in its bloated size of 1.7MB), it responded with: "No more room on device" (or something very similar). I noticed that the libz.so.1 is only about 65K and the mkcramfs without the library is about 79K. So, I ask, is it possible to increase the total number of bytes (from files) that the root filesystem can contain or can I run the mkcramfs utility without the library statically linked and somehow have the library libz.so.1 linked at runtime? Or is there something that I missed altogether? TIA, Norm Yahoo! Mail Plus ? Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
