I am trying to use JFFS2 (JFFS2 from cvs -D 'Nov 12, 2005' with the
mtd driver part from CVS head) on OneNAND simulator and real OneNAND
device.
I erased the test partition with "flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0". I mount the
partition and no other fs operation is done. When I just unmount and mount
again, I get
# mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt

JFFS2 is complaining about many pages being unformatted. It shouldn't
do this, since the pages should be properly formatted after the first
mount within a second when using a fast machine. At least on Nandsim and
Ramtd they are.
Also, no pages are used so pages shold be either free or empty but the
number of free or empty pages is zero. This triggers the Cowardly
message,
I am seeing the same problem on both real OneNAND and OneNand
simulator. On Nandsim or Ramtd everything seems to work ok.
The problem might be related to the free OOB bytes being scattered in
OneNand. The first free OOB region start at offset 2 and with length 3
bytes with autoplacement.
