I think there is at least one report at bugs.busybox.net about jffs2,
namely an endian fix and maybe another report. It would be great if you
could verify that the endian patch does break nothing for you, so that i
can apply it safely and check if there is already a report WRT jffs2 and
-n. If there is already such a report, then i ask you to be so kind and
to point me to it and also point out further problems you did encounter
with jffs2 (like the -n you mentioned above).

TIA,
Bernhard
