Not being able to ping it is bad.

How big is your JFFS2 partition and what is this program that you are running doing? Remember that JFFS2 needs to go GC when the fs gets full (or near full if the background GC task is running). If your program is reading/writing from/to the JFFS2 fs it will get blocked. Are you generating a lot of data to the JFFS2 fs? Vipin
