Hello,
I have some questions on some JFFS2 scenarios running Linux kernel 2.6.10. These scenarios have to do with the state of a JFFS2 partition while its associated garbage collection kernel thread is running:
* What would happen to a JFFS2 partition after a power failure when, before the power failure happened, the garbage collection thread was obsoleting nodes?
* What would happen to a JFFS2 partition if while the garbage collection thread was active and the partition was marked as read- only? Would the obsolete nodes be obliterated?
