Hi, I have my Letux400 with the standard skytone kernel and the debian chroot. (Still waiting for the new 2.6 stuff to be ready!).
I bought an SD card since I am tight on space, my intention is to use it like a second disk, since I need to develop on it I need a unix-like filesystem, FAT16 is not good for that. I need symlinks essentially. I also have the hope that a better filesystem and a faster card might be faster than the internal disk. Now the problem is to find a filesystem that has both an mkfs available from skytone/debian and is supproted by the skytone kernel. How do I know which filesystem a kernel does support? First thing was to fdisk and format as ext2. It turns out the kernel does not read ext2!!! I notice that skytone provides mkfs.minix, thus I made it minix... Still the kernel fails to load the partition! The internal nandflash is in yaffs (a filesystem which I was told degrades performance and usage in time, since it logs everything ?). But neither skytone nor debian have mkfs.yaffs and also I would not know how to fdisk for such partition. Any hints? Ideas? Suggestions?
