/jffs #

Any ideas?

Router: ASUS 500G Premium
Firmware: v23 sp2

Edit: /jffs seems to be readonly,
ls -l on it ->
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 3 Sep 15 2006 jffs

So it's mounted as readonly, =/

Well, I don't know why it's complaining about /jffs//jffs/..., but nothing in your post says that the filesystem is readonly. Just that it can't find what it's looking for. Did you do what it said?

v23 sp2? What's that? It doesn't look like OpenWrt. Perhaps you should ask in the forum belonging to that firmware.

First, there's a "w" in there, which means the permissions on the directory will not prevent write access to that directory for the owner (in this case root).

Second, the permissions on the directory do not tell you whether the filesystem was mounted readonly or read/write.

i.e. you have not shown anything to prove that your jffs filesystem is readonly.

The discussion might have continued from here.
