I’m seeing a strange issue with u-boot when I do a directory listing on a  jffs2 filesystem. There are a couple of files that are listed numerous times. There appears to be a listing for each time the file was modified. FWIW, these files are modified one line at a time. I see this problem on both u-boot versions 1.1.4 and 1.2.0, but only with the latest kernel (2.6.21gum   (gumstix)) but not with an older kernel (2.6.20-rt5gum   (gumstix)). It looks like maybe some changes to the jffs2 in the latest kernel are not understood by u-boot?

 

Here is an example:

-rw-r--r--      405 Thu Jan 01 00:01:04 1970 ally.conf

 

Once I boot into Linux, everything seems fine.

 

Any ideas or suggestions?
