Hi,

[Note: It's been ages and ages since I did any real work with JFFS]

> 20-30k ram seems excessive for 16 files.

In your test you wrote about 800 files so that's 30000/800 ~ 40 byte per 
written file.  Doesn't seem so outrageous to me. Remember that JFFS2 is 
a log-structured file system so each write appends another node to the 
log.  Old nodes aren't recovered until garbage collection is done. Er. I 
think.

Also, in a previous message you mentioned setting the number of required 
free blocks to zero.  Was this done in this test?  If so then (as I 
understand it) JFFS2 will not work as there are no free blocks for GCing 
so old nodes cannot be deleted thus you have no free flash left.
