Are you aware that the version of JFFS2 ported to eCos has issues with
DataFlash? Ref:

  http://sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2005-01/msg00100.html

Patches are welcome. A complete re-import of JFFS2 for eCos would be
even more welcome.

ChangeLog, garbage collection thread support was added 2004-11-14.
