Ok, I answered myself.

Does JFFS work on Compact Flash? No.

And now, what is the best file system to work with a compact flash???
When my system startup, fstab mount compact flash with ext2 file system.
Then I have created a new folder and file in a compact flash, and finally I took off power of board.

But when I restarted board, I found that folder and file are missing.
I known the reason, I did not umount compact flash, but my question is:

How can I avoid it???

Best regards
