Unable to access JFFS2 filesystem

[thomaspang at shaw.ca]

With David's patches, I am able to access the JFFS2 file system.  Thanks.
However, the following weird behaviors are observed:

- incorrect filesystem meta-data or not properly displayed when
  issuing "ls" command.
 
    # ls -al
    drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Dec 11  2003 .
    drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Dec 11  2003 ..
    drwxr-xr-x    1 501      501             0 Dec 11  2003 bin
    drwxr-xr-x    1 501      501             0 Dec 11  2003 dev
    drwxr-xr-x    1 501      501             0 Dec  9  2003 etc
    drwxr-xr-x    1 501      501             0 Dec 11  2003 lib
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 501      501            11 Dec 11  2003

    drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Jan  1 00:28 mnt

    drwxr-xr-x    1 501      501             0 Dec 11  2003 sbin

    drwxr-xr-x    1 501      501             0 Dec 11  2003 usr
    drwxr-xr-x    1 501      501             0 Dec 11  2003 var
 
    # df .
    Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% 
 Mounted on
    rootfs                    1024       740       284  72% /
 
   Even though there are files inside bin/ directory, the size
   of that directory displayed is 0. 
 
- copying file within its own partition results in the following
  error messages.  This problem is happened to the JFFS2 root 
 filesystem  only.

- The write performance is kind of poor.  I have tried to copy
  files of different sizes from CRAMFS to JFFS2, or from JFFS2
  to another JFFS2 partition.  On average, the copying speed
  is approx. 7.5 kbytes/sec.  It seems too slow.
 
  Any suggestions / comments are much appreciated.
