I'm using JFFS2 with Sibley device. During a file writing (for instance =
the copy of a file of 10KB), what happens when a single buffer program =
fails? It seams that JFFS2 tries to recovery the file. In which way does =
it work? I suppose that JFFS2 tries to write the remaining bytes on =
another flash block. Is it right? Please, could you summarize the JFFS2 =
recovery strategy?

Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Davide
