Hi;

 

I'm just trying to mount a normal ramdisk with ext2 filesystem.

 

It's suposed to use 'mke2fs' in order to 'create' the filesystem before mount it, but 'mke2fs' is not in busybox not even as an optional applet.

 

So... how i can set up a ramdisk under this distribution???

I'm working on a LOGICPD 5373EVB.

 

Thank you in advance.

It is part of the e2fsprogs package on sourceforge. Why not download it and make it.

 

 http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/

 

On my Fedora system it is under /sbin.

Chis,

Thank's for your reply.

 

Yes, you're rigth, there is a package 'e2fsprogs' also in LTIB, but i can not complie because there is

a package dependence, that i can not overcome: ( this is on ../config/userspace/packages.lkc )

 

config PKG_E2FSPROGS
    depends CAP_HAS_MMU
    bool "e2fsprogs"

 

So as the MCF5373 has not mmu, there is no way to complile it.

 

( of course i have tried to compile anyway, but there are some linker errors..... )

 

So how is supposed to mount a ramdisk under this distribution???

 

Thanks.

 Oscar.
