Hello,

I have an old device that uses yaffs2 and it runs I need to take an image of it so I could boot it off of it later incase I screw up my current files.

 

I usually do dd if /dev/mtd1 and of nfsmount/backup-file

 

But unfortunately the backup-file doesn’t bootup from my ppcboot.

 

It said that it needs the first block to be empty hence I opened the binary file and removed the whole block but now it says bad page.

 

Plz help create a bootable yaffs2 image.

 

I used the tools ./mkyaffs2image / imagefile

 

But the imagefile seems to be too big and got stuck at Object 1231, //proc/cpuinfo is a file, 1 data chunks written

 

 

Any tips and tricks is also welcome

 

Thanks,

Vijay.
