Oh, I think it should be 
mkfs.jffs2 --pagesize=2048 --eraseblock=0x20000 --pad=0x200000 --no-cleanmarkers -d rootfs/ -o rootfs.jffs2

This will produce a 2Mbytes jffs2 image which is aligned with 2048
pagesize. Then the nandwrite can write it to NAND chip.

Endless message and finally system hang.
Here is my JFFS2 configuration:

CONFIG_JFFS2_FS=y
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DEBUG=2
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER=y
# CONFIG_JFFS2_SUMMARY is not set
# CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_XATTR is not set
# CONFIG_JFFS2_COMPRESSION_OPTIONS is not set
CONFIG_JFFS2_ZLIB=y
CONFIG_JFFS2_RTIME=y
# CONFIG_JFFS2_RUBIN is not set

Sorry for asking this JFFS2 question on YAFFS2 maillist.

Thanks
