Please see the linux-mtd web site and/or MTD  mailing  list  archives
for  details.  JFFS2 works excellent with files that are written once
(or with only a few write() calls. Logfiles typically  grow  forever,
by  many,  many  small  chunks  of  data  appended  in  many  write()
operations - this is kind of killer application for JFFS2.
