Hi, I want to update a root filing system which is jffs2 on NAND.

If I just go ahead and erase then nandwrite to my nand I tend to get random errors which sometimes cause failures..

I posted details of this earlier, but did not get a reply:

Is it possible to somehow switch off the jffs2 on the root partition so I can reflash the chip?

If I re-mount the rootfs as read-only, is the jffs2 still able to write to the nand chip?
