As you suggested I have changed the JFFS2 remount code to flush wbuf when the 
filesystem is mounted read only. As I said via IRC I have performed tens of 
reboots and I have not seen any CRC messages. 

Now on occasions, when the kernel is mounting JFFS2 as root on NAND I get.

NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0x79 (Samsung NAND 128MiB 3,3V)
Creating 3 MTD partitions on "NAND 128MiB 3,3V":

Further such events for this erase block will not be printed

Can you suggest what might be going on ?

Cheers

Simon.
