diskonchip md2202-d256

My research group is experimenting with diskonchip, and we have two of the DoC 2000 256MB DIPs. We eventually would like to mount ext3 on top of inftl in Linux. We are using a 2.6.25.6 kernel, and we have grabbed the latest mtd utilities from the git repository.

We have had a hard time coming by a how-to with the latest kernels and modules, so I wanted to post our proposed methodology here. Does the following sequence of events look right?

1. modprobe diskonchip

2. go into the mtd-utils directory and run the "MAKEDEV" script to create the /dev/mtd* entries and the /dev/inftla entries.

3. ntfl_format -i /dev/mtd0

4. modprobe inftl

5. fdisk /dev/inftla and partition as a disk

6. mkfs.ext3 /dev/inftla

7. mount -t ext3 /dev/inftla /mnt

Thanks for your help!
