Hi,
Is the mtd CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE necessary or YAFFS do some write 
verification itself?

If I enable CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE I got some error message like this:
nand_write_oob: Failed write verify, page 0x0000e000

I added some more print messages and I discovered what yaffs tried to 
write (on the left)
and what read back from nand (on the right)

 0: 0xff <--> 0x00
 1: 0xff <--> 0x00
 2: 0xff <--> 0x04
 3: 0xff <--> 0x00
 4: 0x00 <--> 0x00
 5: 0xff <--> 0xff
 6: 0xff <--> 0x00
 7: 0xff <--> 0x42
 8: 0xff <--> 0xff
 9: 0xff <--> 0xff
10: 0xff <--> 0xff
11: 0xff <--> 0xc0
12: 0xff <--> 0x64
13: 0xff <--> 0x9a
14: 0xff <--> 0xa9
15: 0xff <--> 0x9b

I suppose it's the correct behaviour when yaffs delete a chunk with 
yaffs_DeleteChunk().
Can you confirm it's the correct behaviour?
What do you suggest to do, disable CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE or path 
the nand_base.c file in mtd?
I really need some sort of write verification.

I'm using yaffs in yaffs1 mode with a 32MB Samsung small page nand flash 
and uClinux 2.4.31 with a
patched version of mtd (based on 4/03/2005 CVS mtd)
