Hi!

Just a short question :-)

Situation:

2 partitions not aligned to erase sectors. The first jffs and the second
cramfs. What happens if jffs writes to the last sector (the shared one) and
just in the second the block was erased the power fails. Data loss on the
second partition?

If so please make virtual support a selectable option in kernel config. (If
not already)

Thanks
