I do have a system which is not used with a controlled shutdown, but with a cold heartless poweroff only.

I am using a jffs2 filesystem as it should be journalling and robust agains power loss.

But while boot I get messages like:

Empty flash at 0x00963864 ends at 0x00964000

And after finishing boot:

[root@EEE ]# JFFS2 notice: (181) check_node_data: wrong data CRC in data node at 0x01f8b55c: read 0xa7496669, calculated 0x5aea21d5. JFFS2 notice: (181) check_node_data: wrong data CRC in data node at 0x01f88d3c: read 0xc5d341c, calculated 0x3f0d9534.

This sound seroius to me. How to prevent this if I can't use "halt" or other controlled shutdown?

On the surface of it, it looks alarming, but generally it isn't serious. See:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/jffs2.html#L_messages .

In my own experience I get this question a lot, but so for no one has been able to show any ill effects such as files disappearing or getting mangled. That would be reason for worry.
