I download the CVS stuff mid December and again today. The 
hardware ran ok before and could use jffs2 without errors but as I 
added files it was slow and I could not make file systems on 
partitions which contained bad blocks.

The new CVS code seems to be much quicker and I can erase, 
mount and copy files to my new filesystem without error. I have set 
up the specific driver to do soft ecc. I noticed that when I reboot the 
system and the filesystem gets mounted I get errors. The more 
writes that occur the more errors I seem to get. I ran a test for a 
week or so over the break which generated log files. A reboot after 
this produced thousands of errors but the filesystem seemed ok. 

The errors are something like

Empty flash at 0x00469ffcb ends at 0x0046a000

or

jffs2_scan_dirent_node(): Node CRC failed on node at 0x0046a7f0 
read 0xffffffff calculated 0xdec8161b

I was wondering if any of you could shed any light on this.
