It was successfully used in our setup and we've got positive feedback. In short, it is kind of LVM layer but for flash (MTD) devices which hides flash devices complexities like bad eraseblocks (on NANDs) and wear. The documentation is available at the MTD web site: http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubi.html The source code is available at the UBI GIT tree: git://git.infradead.org/home/dedekind/ubi-2.6.git The UBI GIT tree is based upon the mtd-2.6.git (git://git.infradead.org/mtd-2.6.git) Plain patches may be found at http://linux-mtd.infradead.org/~dedekind/ubi/ Please, include the patches to your tree. -- Best regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Битюцкий Артём)
