SubjectRe: Unaligned jffs2 dnode address - tested by nandsim
Hi,

Any update on this? Does someone know if jffs dnode should be aligned or not?
I have added some developers from mtd-utils.

I have also done test with the latest mtd-utils from git and there is still
unaligned address.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Michal

BTW: I have fixed problem with unaligned access in the kernel but I think the
problem is mainly in fs generation.
