I also suffered from this empty flash at ... message.
So I checked with cat /proc/mtd the erasesize (which is 20000) and how
I generated the jffs2 (with mkfs.jffs2 -lqnp -e 128).

Imho this both match (128k). But somewhat has to cause this message.
What else could I do to prevent such messages and how to get rid of it?

Best Regards
Arno
