Dear All,
             I have a pxa board with samsung nand 64MB k91208UOM
loaded. I have been trying to implement yaffs on a 2.6.12.1 kernel but
 all well and good untill I umount the nand partition , nothing is
retained

[root@Sarva /mnt]#mount -t yaffs /dev/mtdblock3 /mnt/nand/
yaffs: dev is 32505859 name is "(unavailable)"
yaffs: Attempting MTD mount on 31.3, "(unavailable)"
block 1 is bad
block 5 is bad
block 8 is bad
block 17 is bad
block 21 is bad
block 24 is bad
block 33 is bad
and so on 
[root@Sarva /mnt]#df

Now after umounting and mounting again
[root@Sarva /mnt]#cd nand/
[root@Sarva nand]#df

Voila where we started from

and my .config of the kernel has these options 
#
# File systems

CONFIG_YAFFS_FS=y

When ever i build the kernel i get to see these errors
fs/yaffs/yaffs_fs.c:169: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type
fs/yaffs/yaffs_fs.c: At top level:
fs/yaffs/yaffs_fs.c:683: warning: 'yaffs_file_read' defined but not used

Does anyone have any clues why this might be happening.
