Howto Mount A Systc100.dbk

[speculatrix]

I wonder if this will work for C3100 flash backups... I would love to be able to take a snapshot, do something radical with package installs, and be able to get back to where I was.

I'm trying to use your script to mount a nand from a C860 (systc860.dbk), and while the rootfs comes out to 256 (32768/128), the command 'wc -c /dev/mtdblock1' comes up 0. Any suggestions? thks

I don't know anything about the 860.  Does it have a 128Mb flash same as c1000?  If so, you could find the size of the root (which you have above as 256) and then in the same way the size of the "user" partition, and then subtract the sum of those two from 128x8 (= number of 128k blocks in 128Mb) to get the size of the ROMFS.
But this can't work unless your systc860.dbk file is exactly 138428432 bytes, so that is the first thing to check!
