Humble question on actual journalling mechanism...

[Johan Adolfsson]

The jffs-dev list is archived on:
http://mhonarc.axis.se/jffs-dev/threads.html
Information about that should be at the JFFS pages as well (but it isn't).
Currently it's only in the "Contact Us" section of our developer site -
we'll fix that.
