Thanks Andrea,

I applied the patch to the new tree and got the same result. I also enabled
additional msgs in the yaffs_trace_mask. I created the /mnt/card/testdata
in the same manner as before and here is the output from the new yaffs2 fs
with the patch:

testdata still missing.

Thanks a lot for your help. Would it be helpful to look at a nanddump of
the partition written using old yaffs? I can also build the old yaffs2
kernel with the additional trace msgs.
