Hi, 

Is there a method for faster rollout of an embedded root filesystem on
jffs2? I'm currently first erase the chip from u-boot, then copy the
image created with mkfs.jffs2 into the empty flash. On first startup it
seems to detect that the partition is larger than the actual image and
it takes quite some time before the / mount is finished. 

Does anybody know a faster variant? 

Robert
