So, after my latest episode with jffs, I have followed advice from an IRC member which his handle I cannot recall ('V' something, if you're reading this, thank you ), I have successfully configured and mounted an external USB flash disk to use as a /jffs partition. The process was pretty straightforward, and now I have R/W access to a 16gb partition with file persistence over reboots.

But of course, our journey does not end here, as the ways of embedded arch gods are unperdictable and mysterious.

No more words, I'm just gonna paste the log:

Hi,

Forget use "/jffs" over EXTERNAL USB drive. This partition is for INTERNAL FLASH. You need to mount your external drive as "/opt".

And, please, request to developers to enable JFFS2 INTERNAL SUPPORT.

All people that are doing "/jffs" over USB are doing wrong!
