- shutdown the system an restart WITHOUT unmounting

  the Yaffs partitions

=> next mount: Yaffs scans the partitions and comes

out with various results:

 

- either the files are gone (not even there in lost+found)

- or the files have a name comprised of 254 0xff characters

 

If I just read a file (instead of generating it anew each

time) it happens, that the file is still there, but not always.

 

Is Yaffs that vulnerable through improper shutdown? Note, that

I do not switch off power at an undefined time yet. I just

use my debugger to restart my system before the shutdown

procedure (which would write the checkpoint).
