MFS file system corrruption

[brentwilliams]

Hello I am using a Kinetis K20 part on a custom board.  I am testing a file system (MFS) and I notice that the following test works most of the time, but occasionally I see corruption. The test is simple.  I write 50 files to flash and do a ls.  The results are below.  Has anyone seen something similar?

In a good case I see the following:

ls

I monitor the physical address I am writing to and output to a terminal window.  In both of these cases the last physical address it is writing to is the same.

So I believe it is getting into the flash.

Thanks,

Brent

Hi,

Did you ever discover the cause of this issue?

Thanks.

I have sometimes same problem. I do not have explaination about.

I use also MFS, but on a K60 CPU.

Directory entry (and particullary date/time) seems to be corrupted.

On filezilla (accessing file thru ftp) this is a problem, filezillz do not want use file with incorrect date/time.
