I am trying to fully erase the flash configuration of my router, and it does not fully work.
I did "umount /overlay && jffs2reset && reboot", and have also broken it out into a set of discrete steps below.
After doing this, the set password is still in place, as are my files in the home directory. The contents of /etc/config does seem to have been erased properly, which is a good sign.
Any ideas?

This will erase all settings and remove any installed packages. Are you sure? [N/y]
y
/dev/mtdblock4 is not mounted
/dev/mtdblock4 will be erased on next mount
