Hi Keith,

I hope you never mount "mtdblockX" in ext type filesystem since it is flash.
Note:
You can't mount extX in NAND, NOR, SPI etc, but it is possible in eMMC, SD/MMC and USB

3) I have not yet attempted this as the flash* commands are not currently included in our Linux filesystem.

This is from mtd utils package.
