Until recently there was a bug where we wouldn't reclaim the space if you renamed one file over another. Could it be that? If not, it's not a known problem. What version of the JFFS2 code are you using? Do you have a serial console? Can you set CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_DEBUG=1 and set the console loglevel to 9 so that all the resulting KERN_DEBUG messages are printed, then reproduce the problem while logging the output? -- dwmw2
