Hi,

am using linux-2.6.13-ep93xx-gao66 on my edb9315 board and i am using
jffs2 on a mtd device (AT49BV322DT flash). Sometimes when i copy a file
to this device it is not completly written although i have made fsync or
sync. But when i decrease the dirty=5Fwriteback=5Fcentisecs time it is
always completely written.
Why does fsync or sync not work=3F Is it a good way to solve the problem
by decreasing dirty=5Fwriteback=5Fcentisecs time or do i have to decrease
the dirty=5Fexpire=5Fcentisecs time too=3F Normally it is only written to this
device during my firmware updates. So its nor really often accessed.
Sorry for posting this message agin on this list, but i thought it would
be the better place for it.
Regards

Tobias
