Subject: jffs2_get_inode_nodes() very very slow
Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 16:32:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050201150810.M93647@unsec.nl> (raw)

Hello,

On a 64 MiB NAND Flash I created a jffs2 file system. After several tests
especially power fail tests resulting in a lot off CRC and Data CRC errors.
This appears not to be a problem except it takes a very long time to check
the file system.
The initial check (scanning for erased blocks) is done in aproximatly 10
seconds, but after that the jffs2_get_inode_nodes check is running. 
This process takes up to 8 minutes.
During this time the file-system is inaccessible which in oure case a
watchdog decides to reboot the system, making it even worse.
It appears that the check is done with a stepsize of 16 bytes. On an 64MiB
NAND flash it does this check +/- 4 million times.

Is there a way to reduce the time to check the file-system and/or how 
can I recover from these errors.

Kind Regards,
Rudi.
