I'm trying to understand how the JFFS2 padding value is decided, and what effect it has.
In ramips "pad-rootfs" is used, calling "prepare_generic_squashfs", which padds to 256k. I have a build that generates a 7,911,953 bytes firmware. The space in the flash is 8,060,928 bytes. pad-rootfs is creating a 8,126,464 image that doesn't fit. But a 128k padding would have created a 7,995,392 bytes image that would fit. A Google search doesn't give an answer I trust. But it seems that somehow JFFS performs better if it's padded to the "erase size"? If so, maybe this value could be used as a parameter for pad-rootfs? _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
