[ECOS] JFFS2 broken

[eibach at gdsys dot de]

Hello,

I am clueless about a problem in JFFS2.
When I set the cursor to a point in a file (using e.g. fseek) and perform a write there, the file seems to be truncated to that size. But that happens only after the file is written to flash, not when I am reading from the cache.

Here is a little code to reproduce that:

	if (( fp = fopen(FILEN, "w")) == NULL) {
		diag_printf("fault\n");
	}
	else  {
		char c = 0;
		for (int k=0; k < 4096; ++k)
			fwrite(&c, 1, 1, fp);
		stat = fseek(fp, 512, SEEK_SET);
		fputs("End\n", fp);
		fclose(fp);
	}

After a reboot you can see, that the file size is only 522 bytes and not 4096 as it should be. When I use RAMFS instead it works fine.

Something is very badly wrong with fseek and JFFS2. Does noone beside me use that function?
Any hints are appreciated.

Regards,
Dirk
