I have.  Jffs list is quite quiet, usually, few people are subscribed
to it.

Indentation is certainly not consistent with kernel coding style.
Always use a single tab for indentation.  Code itself looks sane, but
I haven't touches jffs2 in a while.

You might want to cross-post things to [email protected] .
Most jffs2 discussion is happening there or on irc.

David usually doesn't take patches, so you have to find someone else
to check things into cvs or convince David to give you cvs access.
Don't ask me, I don't speak ipv6 and the cvs server doesn't speak ipv4
anymore.
