It is definitely a bad situation, no doubt, and no normal situation. The above messages are real errors, not just warnings. It is just difficult to find the reason. JFFS2 is in general quite stable but gets pretty confused in certain situations, like for example when your partition gets really full. I do not suggest that this is the reason here, just that JFFS2 is not (yet) perfect. Having said this, let's get at solving. First of all the bad news: There is no tool to repair a, for whatever reason, damaged JFFS2, sorry. In your situation I would do the following: - check if the partition is full, for whatever reason. If yes, then find the big files and try to delete at least one. See if this helps. - If the partition is not full or after delete you still see problems, then try to reflash your device - sorry, you will loose your installed software in the process. While reflashing the flash eraseblocks get formatted and a clean filesystem is put into the flash. This should give the assurance of having a clean flash afterwards. If now the above warnings continue to show up then - well - it seems your internal flash is broken, sorry. This should not, but can happen. The only help then is to get a replacement device. Good luck! And please post your findings here again so that we can share that information.
