Whole flash is used for dd-wrt firmware - no space left for jffs2.
No need for jffs2 either, WDR4300 has USB ports and a USB flash stick is cheap.

Hi,

This is a stupid response: jffs2 is for INTERNAL storage, and USB is for EXTERNAL storage. For instance, if you need some drivers, not in the main firmware, to access to your EXTERNAL storage, you need to use JFFS2.

JFFS2 REALLY NEEDS TO RETURN TO DD-WRT !!!

Note: Remove the JFFS2 support from the last two years in the DD-WRT development, is like the Microsoft's move to remove the START BUTTON from Windows 8.
