Talk:Modifying the root image

The roots.jffs2 for the n900 cannot be mounted this way: file doesn't recognize it as a jffs2 filesystem and trying to mounting it floods syslog with these messages: jffs2_scan_eraseblock: Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00000000: 0x4255 instead jffs2_scan_eraseblock: Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x00000004: 0x0001 instead jffs2_scan_eraseblock: Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found at 0x0000003c: 0x844e instead Empty flash at 0x00000040 ends at 0x00000200 .... ....

Maybe it's encrypted?
