Thanks. I tested your patch with nandsim and i was able to unmount without any problems. I did some more tests on logfs with nandsim. I ran into some crashes when i used bonnie and tiobench. Following are the steps i followed with bonnie. Also kernel messages are below that. 1. sudo modprobe mtdblock 2. sudo modprobe nandsim 3. sudo modprobe zlib_deflate 4. sudo insmod logfs/logfs.ko 5. sudo flash_eraseall /dev/mtd0 6. sudo logfsprogs/mklogfs /dev/mtdblock0 7. sudo mount -t logfs /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/flash_drive/ 8. sudo chown srimugunthan /mnt/flash_drive/ 9. bonnie -d /mnt/flash_drive/ -s 100 -r 50 kernel oops with bonnie ( A different kind of crash happened with tiobench command ./tiobench.pl --dir /mnt/flash_drive/ --size 25 --threads 4) === Aug 6 19:26:26 mll kernel: [ 293.230748] nand_sync: called Aug 6 19:26:26 mll kernel: [ 293.289827] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Aug 6 19:26:26 mll kernel: [ 293.289844] kernel BUG at /home/srimugunthan/Documents/logfs/file.c:172!
