If you are going to put a filesystem in NAND, I strongly suggest using
UBIFS. JFFS2 is outdated.

Detailed information about UBIFS can be found here:

NOTE: UBIFS sits on top of UBI. UBI is a volume management system for
      flash devices, with features to maximize the reliability and
      lifespan of the flash device. Information about UBI can be found
      here:
