If I just go ahead and erase then nandwrite to my nand I tend to get random errors which sometimes cause failures.. I posted details of this earlier, but did not get a reply: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2009-January/024311.html Is it possible to somehow switch off the jffs2 on the root partition so I can reflash the chip? If I re-mount the rootfs as read-only, is the jffs2 still able to write to the nand chip?
