Bah, 8Gbit! :-)

JFFS2 is not enough scalable to work with 8Gbit Flashes. The practical 
limit is about 1Gbit. I would suggest to forget about JFFS2 in your 
case. You will never feel comfortable with JFFS2 + 8Gbit flashes.

Try to make 500MB file and remount JFFS2, then open it. See how much 
time this will take. See how much memory will me used.

Also ypu may glance at the introduction chapters at 
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/tech/JFFS3design.pdf
