I'm trying to create a file in JFFS and using the following command

Code:
admins@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# cat << EOF > /jffs/test.txt
> #!/bin/sh
> EOF
-sh: can't create /jffs/test.txt: Read-only file system

I always get this 'Read-only file system' error when trying to create any file. 'Enable JFFS partition' and 'Enable JFFS custom scripts and config' are ticked in the GUI.

What am I doing wrong?

It means you don't have the JFFS partition enabled, most likely because you run an older firmware. Either upgrade, or enable it under Administration -> System.
