[Tip]Access to the internal NAND from a GNU/Linux USB key installation

[wumzi]

Here's a useful tip, I guess, if you need to access to the internal NAND from a GNU/Linux Distro installed on a USB HDD/Key or SD/MMC Card :

Create a Directory like:

Code:

mkdir /media/nand

Mount the NAND in this directory:

Code:

mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /media/nand -o ro

So if you forgot some files in your old Ubuntu 9.04 install, you'll be able to save them !

Made with Debian installed on an external USB HDD (500 Go).

Ola amigo,
Tudo bem? o seu post foi de extrema importancia para mim e agora eu consigo acessar a nand do meu sheeva plug e até ai tudo bem e sendo que agora eu preciso alterar um arquivo no /ETC que esta  impedindo de meu sheevaplug funcionar.

Você poderia me dizer como faço para poder alterar um arquivo no modo readyonly
E45: 'readonly' option is set (add ! to override)

sorry I wrote in Portuguese is my native language since I'm from Brazil.

Actually I wanted to agradescer and much as your post solved my problem was access nand my SheevaPlug installed on another system via USB and it was only changing one letter at the end of the script so I can edit the file that was previously readyonly.

Thank you again.
