JFFS2 in U-Boot is a read only implementation of the file system in
-Linux with the same name. To use JFFS2 define CFG_CMD_JFFS2.
+Linux with the same name. To use JFFS2 define CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2.
The module adds three new commands.
fsload - load binary file from a file system image
fsinfo - print information about file systems
ls - list files in a directory
+chpart - change active partition
+
+If you boot from a partition which is mounted writable, and you
+update your boot environment by replacing single files on that
+partition, you should also define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_SORT_FRAGMENTS. Scanning
+the JFFS2 filesystem takes *much* longer with this feature, though.
+Sorting is done while inserting into the fragment list, which is
+more or less a bubble sort. That algorithm is known to be O(n^2),
+thus you should really consider if you can avoid it!
There is two ways for JFFS2 to find the disk. The default way uses
partition in the code) and you can change where the partition is with
two defines.
-CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK
+CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK
defined the first flash bank to use
-CFG_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR
+CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR
defines the first sector to use

TODO.
- Add a new command so it's actually possible to change
- partition.

- Remove the assumption that JFFS can dereference a pointer
- into the disk. The current code do not work with memory holes
- or hardware with a sliding window (PCMCIA).
