the default block size in jffs2 is 4kB. But with FTP, packets have at

If I put a file of 12kB, is the file then put in 3 nodes if 4kB, or is
it put in 9 nodes (because FTP uses 9 packets) ?
Besides what JÃrgen wrote, it also depends on how your FTP program
buffers, which parts it writes in a single write call, and when it
syncs/flushes buffers.
It still doesn't matter because the file system and/or JFFS2 will
be buffering it to suit their needs.
Do you really say that JFFS2 on eCos ignores calls to fflush() & co?
So then it is unusable for every application that needs transactional
consistency.
I'm sure that this is not the case - the FLASH should be consistent
after a flush.
Tha5 said, this discussion should really be on the JFFS2 mailing
list, since they'll be able to better answer the questions
and concerns. Try taking it to linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
