Hi All,
 I traced the write operation from the Linux kernel to
the JFFS2. I have some questions:
    1) Is there any chance that there could be some
partial writes on the NAND flash (if power failure
happens during write operation).

    2) Does SYNC has any meaning when using the JFFS2.
As fas as I noticed the write operations are
formwarded to the MTD device, and they are not cached.

Thank you so much in advance,
--vahid
