Running out of space on MTD partition with JFFS2

Hi David,

Thanks for the response.

I am overwriting the old files with new files ( with same name directly ) 
using simple 'cp'
# cp -f /config  /mnt/jffs2  ( where /mnt/jffs2 is mounted through 
/dev/mtdblock4 ).

>Are there any processes running which still have the old file open?

There are no other processes using these files once copy is done. Only 
during bootup and during taking backup only these files will be accessed.

Regards,
