My initial Mail:

I did "cat /dev/mtdblock3 > file1" into nfs-root (as a side note, I did
the same again with dd bs=1024k:
konsti at synertronixx3:/usr/src/debian_arm/ > md5sum ddmtdblock3 
e871d71c52d93c1cafb4a8f4ff47a741  ddmtdblock3
konsti at synertronixx3:/usr/src/debian_arm/ > md5sum mtdblock3 
e871d71c52d93c1cafb4a8f4ff47a741  mtdblock3
).

This is emacs in hexl-mode on these files:

And this dump is read from the same system right after umounting.

But the error seems quite systematic so I suspect software. But of
course, still my setup my be broken and jffs2 triggers something. I have
no clue what though.
I will look into the code and see if I find the "write" to read
afterwards... :/
