I assume you can turn your jffs2 image file into a block dev using losetup, then turn the corresponding loop device into an mtd device using block2mtd, at which point you ought to be able to mount it with jffs2. I've never tried it. > What any of this has to do with UML is an open question. I don't want to > require UML to loopback mount a jffs2 image, I want to be able to do it from > my > host. From my perspective, you're solving the wrong problem. There's more than just loopback-mounting jffs2 images. I use this to make entire uml+jffs2 virtual machines for testing purposes.
