All historical firmwares prior to a recent FC fix (2020-05) contain a bug in that code path, thus images made with the first version of tiffs-mkfs were only acceptable to very recent FC firmwares. tiffs-mkfs has now been extended to include an empty journal in the created FFS, thus the restriction of working with recent fw only has been lifted. diff -r 178ed445021d -r 098fea21ba13 doc/Host-tools-overview --- a/doc/Host-tools-overview Sun Aug 23 03:40:10 2020 +0000 +++ b/doc/Host-tools-overview Sun Aug 23 04:55:02 2020 +0000 @@ -261,8 +261,4 @@ completely from scratch "in vitro", containing initial directory and file content given by a Unix directory and file tree on the host system.
