I'm trying to mount a jffs2 image onto /dev/mtd3, following the instructions found here:

 http://pogoplug.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/129156-enable-ssh-login-

I can get all the way to the last step, following each step letter for letter, but then I get this error:

 #mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /mnt -o noatime

mount: mounting /dev/mtdblock3 on /mnt failed: Input/output error

I don't suppose it has anything to do with  other messages i get when flashing mtd3? When I run flash_eraseall -j /dev/mtd3, i get about 10 messages that look like this:

 Erasing 128 Kibyte @ d6c0000 -- 45% complete. Cleanmarker written at d6c0000.

Skipping bad block at 0x0d6e0000

Erasing 128 kibyte @ 12e6000 -- 63 % complete. Cleanmarker written at 12e60000.

Skipping bad block at 0x12e80000

etc, but it still seems to finish without any other complaints.

Could the fact that there are bad blocks be preventing the filesystem from being written there? I don't get any errors when nandwriting to it, so I thought it might be ok, but maybe not.

Also, if i do get it mounted, will I be able to put files there and have them stay after the system reboots? I managed to compile working binaries using a c++ cross compiler, but the only way i could get them to the Pogoplug was to stick them in the /tmp directory, which gets wiped when it reboots.
