Introduction
journaled flash file system (jffs) is used to store user programs and data into otherwise inaccessible flash memory. Inspite of general purpose read/write one must take care not to store frequently changed files on it as this can cause flash wear out. Journal file is used to minimize frequent overwrites.
Instructions
To enable jffs (please read note about "flash wear out" above!) enter the following commands (when you're connected via ssh or telnet on a shell):
nvram set sys_enable_jffs2=1
nvram set sys_clean_jffs2=1
nvram set jffs_mounted=1
nvram commit
reboot
might reboot/hang after cleaning which might take long, so be patient
Maybe the options in the webinterface below work for you (they didn't for me):
Administration:
JFFS2 enabled: X Enable Disable
Clean JFFS2: X Enable Disable
Testing
Log in and run:
ipkg update
ipkg list
Tested on pre5
If everything else fails
If you can't write to /jffs but need it for example for "ipkg" then you can umount it and then, if have a NAS or a share on a pc, mount a networkt share to /jffs.
I personally use a startup script to unmount/mount /jffs everytime the router starts up.. Works perfectly.
