Greetings.

I thought I would let people know that write support is now
working with JFFS and NAND flash. I was able to do 'cp', 'mv'
and 'rm' with no problems. I could mount/umount and the
changes made to the filesystem worked. SPECIAL NOTE: Process
synchronization has not been implemented i.e. spinlocks and
waitqueues. It is NOT currently process/thread safe. I will
have this implemented hopefully by the end of the day or
early tomorrow morning my time. Enjoy.

-Steve

Actually you'll probably find that the jffs semaphore makes it safe, as
long as you've only got one filesystem on it and don't access any parts 
of the device through other means while it's mounted.

Don't let that put you off fixing the locking though :)
