Gary,

Well, kernel is able to mount jffs2 on board. Here again, I have used "cat" command only.
But curious to know if there is any logical difference you might have noticed...

Regards,

2.3 cat filesystem.jffs2 > /dev/mtd3

2.4 mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /mnt/jffs2
It successfully mounts the filesystem...
2.5 umount /mnt/jffs2

Any Suggestions?

I'm not sure if cat'ing the file to the device produces what you want. Did you examine it after you
mounted it? I would have probably tried dd.

If this makes a difference, you can post it back to the list as the solution you found. I'm just taking a guess.
