When I like current stable system in flash (after clean reflashing and tweaking it a bit) I boot from mmc and do a backup

Code:
mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /opt
./mkfs.jffs2 -r /opt -o /media/mmc1/rootfs.jffs2 -e 128 -l -n
umount /opt
There is also optional sumtool command that optimizes the image a bit for faster mounting.

Code:
sumtool -i rootfs.jffs2 -o rootfs.faster.jffs2  -e 128KiB -l -n
Sorry to dredge up an old thread. How do I mount the rootfs.jffs2 image file that is created using this technique?

Is there some modification of this method that is still valid for the N8x0 tablets?

How do you mount a jffs2 image on a loop device?
