JFFS2 filesystems require a certain number of erase blocks reserved for
garbage collection before you can write anything to them.

128k is only one erase block for most CFI flashes and is thus far too 
small
to have the five(?) free blocks that are required.  There was talk of 
proving
the GC for two free blocks, but either way, one block is not (and never 
will
be) enough.
