Android platform file system

On typical Linux file system the root directory "/" has a node number equaled 2.
Nodes with number 1 are bad blocks.
Other files and directories have different node numbers.

However, in practice, mobile file system yaffs2, which is used by Android platform has another behavior:
all directories in the root directory as well as the root itself have node number equaled 1!
