[JFFS2] No space for garbage collection

[Caio]

Hello,

In my system I use Jffs2 in a NOR Flash (8MB), and there's a daemon
that write a configuration in a periodic time.
After few minutes the filesystem is corrupted and show a message


No space for garbage collection

No space for garbage collection. Aborting GC thread

There's a way to call the garbage collector in my daemon?

I'm using kernel 2.6.30 but with a lot of patches


I applied all MTD/JFFS2 commits of the 2.6.30 to 2.6.31

There's something I'm doing wrong? Maybe some ideia to fix this problem?

Thanks
