Question: Did you initialise the FS with
cat jffs2.image > /dev/mtd0 before you tried to mount /mtdblock0 ? If you did not, then kernel threads will indeed start formatting the FS after you mount it. 2nd question: Did you use an empty directory with mkfs.jffs2 to make your jffs2.image? This doesn't work - you end up with a 0 length jffs2.image! If this was the case then even if you did initialise the FS with "cat jffs2.image > /dev/mtd0" you will still find the kernel threads format the FS after you mount it. I think this is a bug - the workaround is to use a non-empty folder to make your jffs2.image from.
