Hi all ,

I try to make JFFS2 File system working on a embedded device.
This device had 2M0 of Ram and 16 Mo of NAND flash.
Here you have the boot sequence information:

    [21474538.190000] S3C24XX NAND Driver, (c) 2004 Simtec Electronics

When i use a little soft who made 1000 file of  size 1024 i get a 
OOMKiller.

when i made a df after the oomkiller i see the following :

    root at akt:~# df
    Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/mtdblock2           14976      5228      9748  35% /
    /dev/ram1                  115        15       100  13% /var

As we can see , we are not going out of space on the flash device.

Is there a problem with the way i make the jffs2 Image ?
Here is the way i do it :

       ./mkfs.jffs2 --root=/AktImageDirectory --output=Akt.jffs2 -e 
0x4000 --pad=0x00EA0000 -n

Is there something else to do ?
Have i something to care of the flash_erase if i use dd for install the 
image ?
The install command is :
      
       dd if=/Akt.jffs2 of=/dev/mtdblock2

I am lost!!!

Greetings,

Fabian Rami
