attempting to regroup the yaffs discussion in the increasingly OT "where's the
source" thread.
This sounds close to what I am seeing on 2.4, unable to delete files to recover
space on BB-locked yaffs root fs.

Hang on there, I posted numbers and we're not taking about the odd block
getting marked. I have 67% of a 128MB flash out to lunch here. That is about
48000 blocks. While it is likely this board has seen dozens or irregular shut
downs it has not tens of thousands!

Apologies, it is indeed the 2.4.26-ts11 kernel , IIRC it was shipped with ts10
and we updated it to ts11.
I recent weeks I have been booting a 2.6 kernel via nfs for testing. but
without using or mounting the MTD fs. Root fs is also nfs.
Failure of this board has added urgency to getting a more reliable fs and
recent kernel to work. However this post-dates the total flash failure, it is
NOT the cause.
This situation has arisen solely using stock TS kernels.
