"add only" fs

Hello,

a common problem in embedded systems is to log important data in a way
safe against power failure and software bugs.
The question is: may be jffs2 the right place to introduce an "add only"
protection? It can be at partition level, in such a way that mounting
that
partition as "add only" I am protected against loss of data, because I
can only create new files and/or append data to existing files and never
delete or truncate a file unless the partition is remounted rw.


Best regards,
Fabrizio Pollastri.
