Hi,

Since moving from JFFS2 2.1 to 2.2, I have noticed klog messages I didn't
see before.  It only seems to happen after a fresh flash when writing data
to the romfs.  sometimes I get a few messages, but this time I only got the
one:

Mar 10 12:07:25 klogd: Eep. Block 0x00120000 taken from free_list had
free_size of 0x00000038!!

It seems to recover, and I cannot find any corrupt files.  I see this error
also listed in the 2.1 source code, but never actually *got* the error
before.

Could someone explain what would cause it?  Sorry if this has been discussed
before, I didn't see anything on it when searching.

Thanks,

-Brian
