Bug Description

It would be really nice if we could mount yaffs2 images (as used by android) on ubuntu systems.

If there's some good reason why this isn't supported, then a nice explanation in this bug report might show up nicely in google.

Currently on maverick "apt-cache search show yaffs2" gives no output. I can't find any reference to this being different in natty.

Hi Michael,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/current/ . If the issue remains, please run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 701679

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

This bug is missing log files that will aid in dianosing the problem. From a terminal window please run:

and then change the status of the bug back to 'New'.

What do we need to do to get this bug going? I tried to do the 'apport-collect 701679' from comment #4 above, but I get guess the reporter of the bug needs to do it. Should I file a separate bug? And do we really need logs to diagnose the problem of this bug? ;)
