Oh, I thought the problem is that JFFS2 thought an inode was freed when
it still was in use.  So you're problem is actually that it's no in the
hash anymore but you don't know yet?

Anyway, please explain in detail why you need all this information, what
errors you see, etc so we can find a way to fix it properly.
