[U-Boot] U-boot and JFFS2

Hi,

On the OMAP3 EVM board, I have four partition on my Onenand flash of which /dev/mtd4 is a JFFS2 partition.

After booting up linux, I use the following command to mount the jffs2 empty partition.

Linux#> mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt

Then I do a reboot .

When u-boot boots up it gives bad erase block for all the blocks used by /dev/mtd4.

The reason is the JFFS2 filesystem is putting some signature at location 0x0 and 0x1 of OOB locations
of every block.

Is there a way this can be avoided ?



Regards
Mani
