This is so that I can have a single JFFS on mutiple flash. > Or can I have a single JFFS on Mutiple MTD partitions? Yes, it can. If the flash chips are identical and arranged consecutively with no space between them, the chip drivers will register them all as one MTD device anyway. It'll even deal with finding multiple aliases of each chip. Or if you have different types of flash chip you can use the 'mtdconcat' driver to combine them. This kind of question is more likely to get a useful answer on the MTD mailing list (linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org). Certainly not linux-net@vger. -- dwmw2
