Message: 101940

I have a failure attempting to build support for UBIFS into the latest 2010 distribution release.

I followed the instructions at:

https://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=linux-kernel:ubifs

A make clean does not resolve the issue.

Please advise as how to file a bug report.

your error shows the issue:

error: uuid/uuid.h: No such file or directory

so install the package in your host distro that provides the file as detailed in the documentation:

docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=installing_linux

Sorry Mike. I already followed that documentation when initially setting up my host. I am using coLinux (Debian Lenny).

I tried the following; it installed more packages, but it did not help.

# sudo apt-get build-dep mtd-utils

I have read from very old forums that I want to install the package e2fsprogs-dev; however, this package is not available in the coLinux distribution and e2fslibs-dev does not contain uuid.h.

I will continue to look into it.

Now that the UBIFS MTD Utils are building, the static device table provided by vendor BlueTechnix for CM-BF537E is failing to parse for the ubifs root filesystem only. For romfs, there is no error.

I had the same issue. It was solved by using the device_table-min.txt and letting /bin/mdev build the dev nodes dynamically. Give it a shot and see if it solves the problem.

Thank you Gilles. However, I have already tried that approach. I have been unable to get mdev to operate while having the root filesystem mounted as a romfs filesystem in RAM.

Works for me on an BF532 CPU. Is there anything suspicious in dmesg?

FWIW, here's my /etc/rc.d/S20mdev called through /etc/rc:

#!/bin/sh

# Start up file for mdev

case $1 in

start) echo "Starting mdev...";

#echo /sbin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug;
