Re: [ts-7000] YAFFS - Recovering from a full onboard flash

[Andrew Taylor <>]

I've just seen this.  A script accidently filled in a yaffs file-system.
Leaving it in this state:

# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root               127984    127964        20 100% /
# rm  1142862748.shw
rm: unable to remove `1142862748.shw': Directory not empty
# df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/root               127984    127964        20 100% /

The rm removed the file but didn't free any blocks.  Truncating
files (echo >file) did free blocks.  Then rm worked normally.

My filesystem is (meant to be) essentially read-only and
I might change my setup so it ca be mounted r/o.  So it isn't
a problem.

Eddie, couldyou e-mail/post  the block recovery  program+kernel.

But the system is sitting 1500km away at the end of a wireless connection
in queensland rainforest so it may be a while before I use them!
