The jffs2 code in Linux did a scan and therefore took also quite long (e.g. 20 
seconds).

I've heard that in the MTD cvs some things have been improved and now it scans 
faster or in the background or something like that.


What I would: I would make one JFFS2 /boot parition, with little more than the 
kernel. And one JFFS2 / parition, with the rest. So the bootloader has only 
to scan for valid blocks in the little partition, but that's probably ok. And 
Linux now has some improved scanning/heuristics/whatever that scales better 
to large partitions.

Not sure if that could be a way for you ...
