I was able to do the following:
eraseall /dev/mtd/0
This produced a long long list of ioctl messages, ending in the entire
64M block erased. The following session ensued:
# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 04000000 00010000 "Physically mapped flash"
mtd1: 04000000 00010000 "my_jffs2"
mtd2: 00400000 00020000 "mtdram test device"
# mkdir /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/mydev
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock/1 /mnt/mydev

--------------------------------------
Upon rebooting the system, the /mnt directory no longer exists. I can
recreate it and remount the jffs2 device, but of course the directory is
empty and the file files.txt that I copied in is now gone. I see no
indication that the flash is seeing any physical writes at all. What am
I missing?
