General question about mounting mtdblock device

[Riyaz R, Syed Ismail]

Is it safe to do a flash_eraseall and nandwrite a jffs2 image on a mtdblock that is not unmounted cleanly, then mount to a new mount point.
i.e,
1)mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/1/
2)flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd2
3)nandwrite -p /dev/mtdblock2 jffs2_image
4)mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/1/

The mount point is different. This is just a workaround to account for *if* umount doesn't work.

Will the 2nd mount result in nand corruption, since both are accessing same nand space. Specifically, will reboot in such a scenario cause problems, since both will try to sync and unmounts at the time.
