Hi all guys.
I'm new in yaffs...even if my subscription was made in June.
I'm reading this trail between Sergei and other yaffers since several weeks.

I'm interested in yaffs because the company I work for has delivered a product with yaffs (first version) aboard.
We have the need (as a lot of companies working with NAND flash devices, I think) to switch to yaffs 2.
This is because 512 byte page devices are going in obsolescence.

This is a problem that involves companies that buy lot of devices at a time (not one or two pieces.... :(   ).
Then it's very important, for the future of yaffs filing system, to be able to mount yaffs2 as root ...

I have to admit that Sergei is angry for some justifiable reasons... even if he is TOO angry...

The chance to mount yaffs file system as root is very important for a lot of embedded systems where 
costs have to be taken low... (It,s not cost effective to have several devices on your board...)

Then I would give you a suggestion.
Please, try to patch this problem as quickly as possible.
The future of YAFFS2 is by the way...

I think that Charles Manning would not be happy to see his creature so mistreated....

I all and good work...

Regards
