Sorry for the delay.

I didn't forget (completely) about this one.
The thing is, I don't really maintain jffs2 but I will collect and test patches
for the upcoming merge window and carry them via my ubifs tree. 

David, I hope I have by end of the week a list with potential patches ready
such that you can have a final look and veto what you don't like. :-)

Thanks,
