Re: [Gumstix-users] Verdex XL6P Missing Files?

[Felix D. <fe...@gm...>]

I've also had a similar issue (using OE).  Files I created (in /home/) at
one point in time were stored properly, but other files I created later
disappeared after a reboot.  Even weirder, after editing a original file
that was stored properly, the file reverted to its original version after a
reboot.

Also, none of the packages that are installed using ipkg seem to stay after
a reboot.

Is this normal?  Could it be related to the JFFS2 filesystem errors that
many seem to be having?
