Title: cramfs in oz 3.5.1
Post by: weasel123 on October 11, 2004, 08:08:48 pm

Hi all,
I am trying to mount a cramfs volume using the correct syntax, but i get the messages "needs a valid block device).

There is no cramfs module to modprobe.
So does 0z 3.5.1 support cramfs, or do i need to compile a module using oe?

It's built in, no need to modprobe it. Sure your partition is a cramfs?

Its a file not a partition, ie say patcherl.cramfs , which is a cramfs volume which contains some patch files, when i go to mount it....

mount -t cramfs patcher.cramfs /mnt/cf/tmp  -o loop
mount: Mounting /mnt/cf/cramfs/patcher.cramfs on /mnt/cf/tmp failed: Block device required

I mounted the cramfs in the PC, tar the files and later untar in the zaurus. Impossible to mount the cramfs in the zaurus.

upgrade busybox. losetup is missing in 3.5.1 hence -o loop doesn't work.
