Hi All,

Thanks a lot.

With the below code I am able to read only 112KB of data. "while" loop
executes only for 28 times. I tried to debug the yaffs_read function, for
successful iteration obj->variantType is YAFFS_OBJECT_TYPE_FILE, but it is
coming out from while loop when obj->variantType resets to 0x3C038832.

I am not able to find the root cause. Please help to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Saquib
