ok i think i’m getting close… almost…
i have my nifty compressed embedded file system and i’m trying to
mount it but i’m not having any luck
when i try:
flashctl -p/root/my-efs.efs -n/flash
it doesn’t complain but the /flash mount point doesn’t show up…
adding the -m option doesn’t help either…
i’m sure i must be close… but not quite there , i’m missing some
critical switch or something…

Is this on a flash device? How did you create you .efs file?
flashctl is only for flash devices and I don’t think
you would have one under /root…

#my-efs.build
[block_size=128k spare_blocks=1]
[filter=“flashzip”]
/home/vince/embeddedroot/
#end
i then use mkefs my-efs.build my-efs.efs
so now i have my embedded root files in a nifty compressed efs file …
how do i mount it?
eventually this efs file will reside on a Compact flash drive and in
my boot script i will mount it as /

Hi Vince,
Did you solve this problem? If so, how?
We are interested in doing the same thing.
Does your compact flash appear as an IDE device in the system?
