What is jffs2_gcd_mtd1 and why is it using CPU so extensively?
Is it related to apache or mysql continuous usage?

jffs2 is a journaling flash filesystem Are you trying to access a flash memory device?

Yes, the wwwroot is on a flash drive. That's half of the question answered. Big thanx.But why 100% CPU ??

You should write it in a comment not an answer.The problem seems to have been caused by some weird fragmentation or bad sectors or hardware latency and the jffs had hard time using the space where I had my data stored OR it polled something with a while loop and nobody expected it to take long. In general it was a mix of some hardware issues and a race condition. I stopped running one mysql-extensive app and it went back to normal.
