[Ltib] Files/folders under ltib/rootfs/dev/ were not packed into rootfs.jffs2

[Quentin YANG]

Hi there,

Two questions drived me nut:

1. Why does only limited number of files/folders turn up under
/rootfs/dev/ after './ltib' build?
2. Why folders/files under 'rootfs/dev/' were not packed into
rootfs.jffs2 with './ltib -p dev -f' forcing device_table build
command?

There were no such problems when I was playing around with Phytec3250
board build.
It happened after I added my own board. But from what I can see, all
changes of adding my own board should not affect LTIB rootfs build.


DETAILS ARE AS BELOW
-----------------------------------------------

After doing ./ltib build. (It was done AFTER ./ltib -m distclean), I
can only see limited number of files/foldrs.

address@hidden ltib-qs]$ ll rootfs/dev/
total 16
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 1 2010-11-17 17:27 console
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   12 2010-11-17 17:27 mtab -> /proc/mounts
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 2010-11-17 17:27 null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 5, 0 2010-11-17 17:27 tty

After checking LTIB Q&A, I used './ltib -p dev -f' and successfully
created all files/folders under rootfs/dev/

But after programming rootfs.jffs2 that was newly generated into
FLASH. There were just a few more folders.

address@hidden /]# ls -al /dev/
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root            0 Nov 22  2010 .

drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root           40 Jan 29 10:05 shm
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root       5,   0 Nov 22  2010 tty

Any coments or suggestions are highly appreciated.
