Ouch, so surprised that after all these years someone is doing squashfs/mtdblock instead of using ubiblock :-)
Can we patch either Kconfig or add some warn_once on mtdblock usage, suggesting to use ubiblock instead?
a hint in Kconfig makes IMHO sense. Do you want to send a patch? A warning is too much since on some tiny embedded system with NOR flash mtdblock is still a good choice. ubiblock is mostly useful for NAND flash.
I remember there was still some use case(s) for mtdblock but I can't remember now what was it, perhaps we should document the expectations? (Is that for JFFS2 to mount?)
a long time ago mount didn't accept character devices, so you had to pass mtdblockX to mount JFFS2. This limitation is gone. Thanks, //richard
