Bad block message from JFFS2

[Amit Kumar Sharma]

Hi 

I am testing JFFS2 with OneNAND mtd on Linux kernel mvl 2.4.20
I have two partition of JFFS2 on my device of following size 20Mb and 200Mb.
During iozone testing on flash partition of size 200Mb, JFFS2 try to erase
device and it create Bad blocks on device .when I try to check with some
different software, I did not find so many bad blocks on my device .How I
Can verify bad block marker in JFFS2 and in which condition JFFS2 will mark
a block as bad block? 

During IOZONE running on 200Mb partition for 20Mb file read and write
operation.I am getting following debugging messages on console
