I would strongly recommend switching to Yaffs2 because that is likely to
perform better. The Yaffs2 codebase still supports the Yaffs1 mode of
operation if you want to try that.

You're going to hate this, but it depends.... What flah part are you using?
Some can work with yaffs1 mode and some not.

If the flash supports it (eg. partial page writing) then you can just treat
2k pages like 4x512-byte pages.

If you give me a part number I can give you some further indications.
