From ac0e2479dc5a720d1ad70fb558fe415588f05a27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 16:09:58 +0000 Subject: mtd: remove the warning about read-only caused by size vs. block boundary mismatch Since the kernel/rootfs split handling was modified 2 years ago by r37283 ( https://dev.openwrt.org/changeset/37283 ) and by the subsequent checkins, users have seen rather scary mtd errors in the log at every boot. The message ends "-- forcing read-only", which looks a bit error-like. That error has been mentioned in some forum threads, when users have noticed this message instead of some actual error.
