Ferenc, I appreciate your help. Unfortunately I don't think the patch will
improve my situation since I need to handle un-clean umounts. e.g. power 
failures and still preserve reasonable mount time.

I did a few tests with yaffs1 and yaffs2. With yaffs1, 128 MByte NAND and 100
MBytes worth of files I am getting 18 s mount time. And after 18 s filesystem
seems to be fully operational (touch, ls -l, etc.) Treat data as 
preliminary since I just built yaffs1 yesterday ;-)
I also did write/read/verify/erase of total of 6.8 GBytes of data without any 
errors. Have not done any power fail testing yet.

Now, the bad news yaffs2 did not work for me - files would disapear or get
corrupted. I would need yaffs2 to handle devices with 2 kB page size.
