Hi,
I work on an AT91RM9200-DK based product.
I was used to boot from a filesystem on a nfs server but, now, I want to boot from my SPI DataFlash.
In ext2 format, my filesystem's size is arround 13M but I have only 5M of free SPI DataFlash space. When I compress it in ext2.gz format, my filesystem's size decrease to 3M. It's just fine but I have some questions :
- can I boot from a ext2.gz filesystem which is store on SPI DataFlash... ?
- if yes : how ? What are the arguments needed by the kernel ?
- is there a more adapted format ?
Thanks by advance,
Joran
