-**CAUTION**: As a safety precaution, FreshTomato will prevent you from performing firmware upgrades if a JFFS partition is mounted/in use. The reason for this is that if you were to disable JFFS and upgrade the FreshTomato firmware, you might lose the contents of the /jffs partition. For this reason, you should do a backup and restore operation to preserve the data there. To learn more about backup and restore of JFFS partition data, see the XXXX page.
