Hi Erich

Thanks a lot and also to Eric!
The problem was indeed with the ext2 module not being loaded
yet :$
So now I'm just going to use one partition ext2 to do the
trick ..

While checking the different filesystems in the available
modules, I 
noticed however there's no support for YAFFS nor for JFFS2
.. Is this 
one day gonna change? To make the flash drives more
durable..

Or is it possible to give some extra parameters to the
system with 
ext2, to make it more durable in this way?

Greetz,

Tom

One other question, which I fear is a dumb one .. But I
can't find it anywhere
To install the ext2 module .. You have to put it in
/boot/lib/modules
and then declare it initrd through the LEAF Packages
configuration menu..
Well, I see it nowhere in the menu, and I've been through
each part of it..

also afterwarts when I should save it , pressing m only
saves the 
moddb.lrp .. So how save it afterwarts?

Thx, Tom

Did you install the ext2 kernel modules?

indeed .. for the making of the image I had to use "dd
if=initrd.lrp" 
instead of "dd if=/dev/zero" I guess ..
So I changed this, and my file is now a lot bigger .. but
still 70kb's 
smaller then the original file and still blocking on the
same

So I must be doing something wrong somewhere .. I'm not a
real expert 
at these things, so it's possible I'm looking over something
very small

Thx eric!

That was exactly what I needed!
to edit the /mnt/boot/etc/modules however .. I tried vi and
nano .. 
Both just give a bunch of strange letters and signs
What's the best way to edit?

When I built cups for leaf I needed some persistent storage.
I used a 4 
Gig CF with ext2 filesystem. As I needed to have ext2 anyway
I decided 
then to go the whole distance and format all partitions on
the CF with 
ext2. No trouble at all. I suggest though to also load the
hdsupp 
package and to run fsck periodically on the partitions.


cheers

Tom,

initrd.lrp is compressed with gzip; did you uncompress it
first?
There's also no need for the mkfs.minix step since you're
starting with
an existing minix filesystem in your initial initrd.lrp.

I usually do this:

   # zcat initrd.lrp > initrd
   # mount -o loop initrd /mnt

   [ Add or edit files under /mnt ]

   # umount /mnt
   # gzip -9 --suffix .lrp initrd
