I'm working with the firmware of SIP phone. I extracted the JFFS2 file system image from the firmware and mounted it using modprobe ike this:

sudo modprobe mtdram total_size=36360
sudo modprobe mtdblock 
sudo modprobe jffs2
sudo modprobe block2mtd
sudo dd if=~/1C6A83.jffs2  of=/dev/mtdblock0
sudo mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 ~/mnt

However when I try to change files on the mounted device I get an error "No space left on device". What am I doing wrong? May be my device mtdblock0 is protected from writing?

  • Try to mount -o rw and access the files using root user. If that doesn't work, immediately after the mount command look at the last lines of the kernel message log (tail /var/log/messages or dmesg | tail – Yotamz Apr 21 '20 at 07:22
  • Thanks a lot, but unfortunately, it doesn't work.

    cp: cannot create regular file '/home/main/fs/voip/logo.png': No space left on device

  • Here are my actions step by step $ sudo modprobe -v mtdram total_size=36360 $ sudo modprobe -v mtdblock $ sudo modprobe -v jffs2 $ sudo modprobe -v block2mtd $ sudo dd if=~/st.extracted/1C6A83.jffs2 of=/dev/mtdblock0 72718+1 records in 72718+1 records out 37232064 bytes (37 MB, 36 MiB) copied, 1,09873 s, 33,9 MB/s $ sudo mount -o rw -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 ~/fs – JMLabs Apr 26 '20 at 22:23

I wanted to do the same thing, and did not get the no space left on device (I read somewhere that that error may be because of an incomplete image...), but I could not figure out how to update the image. md5sum of the original file did not change, and running sync as suggested after googling was unsuccessful as well...

I went the way of extracting the jffs2 image and then repacking the jffs2 file system.
I put everything on github, but here is the essence:

This will unpack a .jffs2 file system to /my/target/dir and repack to mtd_root.sum.bin

Unpacking

mount -t jffs2 -o ro /tmp/mtdblock0 /tmp/e2jffs2
(cd /tmp/e2jffs2; tar cf - .) | (cd "/my/target/dir" ; tar xpf -)
umount /tmp/e2jffs2

Repacking

mount -t jffs2 -o ro /tmp/mtdblock0 /tmp/e2jffs2
mkfs.jffs2 --root=/tmp/e2jffs2/ --output=/tmp/mtd_root.bin --eraseblock=128KiB --pad --no-cleanmarkers
sumtool  --pad --eraseblock=128KiB --input=/tmp/mtd_root.bin --output=$(dirname "/my/target/dir")/mtd_root.sum.bin
