any affs image
Hi Geert,
do you happen to have an affs disk image, by any chance? I need to make few changes in the affs file-system in the linux kernel but and I would like to test them. But unfortunately, I was not able to find any working way of formatting my dist to affs.
CCing the mailing list in case someone else could help.
Thanks!

Hope this helps...

Hi, thanks, I tried it and it worked neither for files nor for block device nodes, I do not know why. But I've found a different mkfs.affs which actually works. Thanks!

Strange. I did try it yesterday (without mounting the result, though).
Did you pass a volume name as second parameter?

Actually not, the --help output looks like this:
$ ./mkaffs --help Usage: mkaffs [OPTION...] devicefile name
and I thought that "devicefile name" means "/dev/vda", I did not figure out that "name" is another argument.
I decided that it is a piece of old and non-working code and did not try to look at the source code, but I probably should have to.
Sorry for the noise.
