I couldn't find mention of this behavior in the archives so I'll send this along as informational; I know that the response will be "use the latest version" :-), but in case this behavior hasn't been fixed,, here's a report.

I'm using U-Boot 1.1.4 with a Samsung K9* NAND flash and a JFFS2 file system (created with Linux 2.6.14) which can be accessed with U-Boot; a "file.scr" file containing U-Boot commands is at the top level of the JFFS2 file system. We use the fsload command to set some U-Boot enviroment parameters (so: "fsload file.scr"). If file.scr is removed from the JFFS2 and not replaced, "fsload file.scr" will still read the deleted version. Since it's a log-structured file system the data is still there, but the newly written dirent with name "file.scr" and inode 0 is supposed to hide it. It apparently doesn't. If you actually write new content to file.scr, then the new content will be read.

Like I said, just FYI. I'll either live with it, fix it, or upgrade (unless someone has another suggestion).
