JFFS2 is a nice file system. Unfortunately it doesn't have XATTR support yet,
so it can't be used for the new SE Linux.

Interesting.
It's a pity that they couldn't just make JFFS2 have an option to work like
every other file system. There are lots of cases where you want a JFFS2 file
system on something other than a flash device. For example when trying to
recover files from a corrupted PDA, you can get the file system to a file on
a desktop, but then can't do anything with it!
