Mouting JFFS2 parition

[Raghav K]

Greetings all,

Hi, I'm a novice at using flash chips and MTD, so please bear with me if this is a trivial 
question.

I am able to mount my completely erased parition, "without" copying an image on to it.
The memory dump of the partition after umounting the same, shows some data being
written to this parition.  I have a couple of questions in this regard.

Is it a necessary to copy an JFFS2 image to an MTD parition before using the same? 
Is this an acceptable way of using the parition? 

Thanks and Regards,
