???Yaffsing??? - Folio 100 General

How to yaffs custom rom? I'm porting rom(only lerning but if I port it successfully, I'll post it) and when I yaffs it with mkyaffs2image, I get boot loop and adb said that system can't find sh command that I already included. I know that mkyaffs2image command don't work and that I included sh command because when I unyaffs CyanogenMod and yaffs it, I get same problem. What to do?????? I know that I can compile mkyaffs2image with kernel but I don't have kernel source for that kernel and is it problem in that? All the time I'm trying with 64 version of command and do I have to try with 128 version??
All that I know is that I can't boot system when I yaffs my custom rom. Any help is appreciated.

I think the folio does not use the yaffs filesystem, at least not for the system.img. Ext3 is used instead.

How to pack my custom rom into system.img?
Sent from my IDEOS S7 Slim using XDA App

---

Code:
make_ext4fs -l 268435456 -a system outputpath/system.img path_to_your_rom/system
€: OK, filesystem is ext4 instead of ext3

---

If you typed "make" using official Android way (with repo), it should create a "system.img" in ext4.

Really? I allways repack my system folder in CM because it used an incorrect filesystem here. Maybe that changed at some point.
Anyway, I think he tries to pack a ported rom, not a compiled one.

In fact, with the last git version, it's generating an ext4 system.img and you'll only have to edit some .mk files if you want to create a ext2 one. I flashed the automatically generated ext4 system.img with fastboot and it worked fine
See http://zhougaofeng.ixiezi.com/2011/01/05/errors-when-building-android-gingerbread-for-x86/ for changes to enable ext2
ext2 seems to be needed with kernels used by Foliomod.

Tripple post
What linux distro are you using?
€: Forget it, it's in the tools cyanogenmod compiles. Try this file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27546176/make_ext4fs

---

Thank's, it WORKS!!!

In ubuntu or any debian (like):
[sudo] mkfs with parameters or
[sudo] mkfs.ext4 [pars] or
[sudo] mount -o loopback -t ext4 existing_device virtual_path and later use simple copy with eg. mc
