We'd like to format linux kernel and rootfs image partitions (and the others) with jffs2, because the two images may be replaced with newer ones while Linux is running.
It is not a problem to replace the linux image while it is running, because Linux runs from RAM. You can always replace the Linux image.
A first question is: Is it possible to boot (bootm command) the images stored in partitions formatted using jffs2?
U-boot can read JFFS2 partitions, but as I said, this should not be necessary if your goal is only to replace the kernel images. And u-boot does not need to understand the rootfs, too.
