hi,
Thanks for Charle's reply! I have updated nand_base.c in MTD, and
this problem is fixed. But another problem is appear! all is ok 
except when i do umount/remount. it seems like lost some space when
umount/remount. I have dig into the mtd driver but can't find any 
hints which can cause this problem. here is my log of operations.
any comments will  welcome!
Best Regards!

here, I can see nothing in NAND flash, but if I copy some files beyond 
156M, it will report "Cannot allocate memory".
