Unable to recover from CRC failiure

[Joakim Tjernlund]

Hi 

I got the following on one of our nodes:
-------------- Start log --------------
<snip>
JFFS2: Total scan time: 11.41 sec
Eep. Child "utmp" (ino #1853) of dir ino #130 doesn't exist!

I have no problem with getting a bad CRC on the JFFS2 FS at times, but that I am unable to get rid of
the offending file(utmp).

I am using the latest stable 2.4 branch.

Any ideas?
