Ok, thanks for answer.

Hmm, I don't cleanly understand what do you mean. I suspect you mean
that requesting the whole block from the jffs2_reserve_space() is bad
idea - I agree, I am not going to do so.
Or you mean that small chunks of data are compressed better than big
ones? If so, can you pleas explain why?
> If they're that large are they _really_ an effective use of space?
Of course, I gonna request small piece of space (small minsize parameter
of the jffs2_reserve_space()). But, if the jffs2_reserve_space()
allocates the whole block, I think it is OK to write one big node.
