I am using an SMC via the MTD layer. On one of the partitions I 
would like to put a JFFS2 filesystem. Normally I erase the partition 
and then mount it JFFS2. The problem is that if the partition has a 
bad block I cannot erase or mount it. Does the bad block handling 
have to be in the vendor specific nand driver ?

Cheers

Simon.
