I think you just embarrased yourself.  JFFS2 is Journalling Flash
File System 2, which works overtop of MTD, the Memory Technology
Devices [driver layer].

And I think it handles them just fine, too.  Did you look at
linux-mtd.infradead.org?  There's lots of good info there, and it's
a lot easier than searching the mailing list. (which is useful as
well)
