Me> Why is mkfs.jffs2 generating a larger file than I want?
Me> # /sbin/mkfs.jffs2 --version
Me> mkfs.jffs2: revision 1.38
Me> # /sbin/mkfs.jffs2 --pad=10485760 --little-endian --squash -e 16384 -d root -o jffs2.dat
Me> # ls -al jffs2.dat
Me> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10551296 May 25 13:36 jffs2.dat

Me> My partition is only 10MB. That's (1024*1024*10) = 10485760 bytes.
Me> It is divisible by the 16k erase block. So why does mkfs.jffs2 insist
Me> on writing 65536 more bytes than I want? Am I doing something wrong
Me> or is this a bug?
