Peter, if you don't want to have problems in future, please use --pad=2048 
option instead of --pad. The latter is only acceptable in case of NOR 
flash. This is fairly confusing and we definitely have to either notice 
this in the mks.jffs2 help output or just hack mkfs.jffs2 code and assume 
--pad=Page Size by default for NANDs. You're welcome to do either of this 
and to send your patch :-).

Please, refer to

for more details. HTH.
