I guess one of the problems will be that the sizes you specified are way
too small. Fomr the man-page of mkfs.jffs2:
"Options that take SIZE arguments can be specified as either decimal
(e.g., 65536), octal (0200000), or hexidecimal (0x1000)"
So for an eraseblocksize of 128kbytes you would specify "-e 131072".
Wrong settings can confuse jffs2 pretty easily.
