Ok, thanks for answer.

> Other than the fact that it doesn't pack well, not really.
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.
