Hi All,

It seems the following answer is wrong. The u-boot cannot recognize
the JFFS2's files after write files to JFFS2 many times in linux.
I guess maybe it's a JFFS2 compatible problem in u-boot and linux
kernel. Does anyone know what combination of u-boot and linux kernel
version is compatible for JFFS2?
I think to upgrade u-boot or downgrade kernel could be a solution for
this problem.

BRs, H. Johnny
