Hi All,

The ls command in u-boot can list contains of JFFS2 filesystem. It
works fine after copy (cp.b $memaddr $noraddr) jffs2 image file to
flash in u-boot.
After boot to linux system and copy a file to JFFS2 filesystem and do
sync, reboot then got following message in u-boot.
The kernel I used is 2.6.23 and u-boot is 1.3.0.

### JFFS2 loading 'image1' to 0x400000
Scanning JFFS2 FS: .- Unknown node type: 2006 len 684 offset 0x7ffd54
                                               \
Unknown node type: 2006 len 764 offset 0x83fd04
                                                             |
Unknown node type: 2006 len 616 offset 0x85fd98
....

Google this message and got some information, but is it true reason?
below is from google.

### JFFS2 loading 'boot/uImage' to 0xa2000000
Scanning JFFS2 FS: .  Unknown node type: 2006 len 4288 offset 0x5ef40
Unknown node type: 2006 len 6480 offset 0x7e6b0
/ Unknown node type: 2006 len 4988 offset 0x9ec84
. Unknown node type: 2006 len 7368 offset 0xbe338
- Unknown node type: 2006 len 10128 offset 0xdd870

that's currently normal. The 2.6.15 kernel has changed the JFFS2
filesystem in a way that cause u-boot to report these unknown
node-type messages. You can ignore the messages
==

Thaks for any reply.
