+linux_test.c tests yaffs running under linux using the nandsim generator.  
+
+
+If a segmentation fault happens during the test then check that 
+the nandsim has been initilised properly. 
+
+How to initilise the nandsim
+
+$ make
+
+$ sudo -s
+...password..
+# now you have a root shell
+$ ./linux-tests/initnandsim 128MiB-2048
+$ insmod yaffs2multi.ko
+$ mkdir /mnt/y
+$ mount -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/y
+
+
+
+How to change the permissions on the nandsim partition
+
+$ sudo chmod a+wr /mnt/y/
+#check the permission change
+$ touch /mnt/y/test_file
+
+How to clean the folder
+
+$ rm -rf /mnt/y
+
+
+The test must be run in sudo to work to allow the files to be 
+created in the root folders.
