[PATCH] UBI

[PATCH] UBI

[Artem Bityutskiy]

Hello Andrew,

we have announced UBI several months ago in the MTD mailing list. 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)

Make that git://git.infradead.org/~dedekind/ubi-2.6.git
or http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/dedekind/ubi-2.6.git

And it would be helpful (at least to me) if you'd keep an 'mtd' or
'linus' branch in your tree, which shows the point at which you last
pulled from your upstream tree(s). That way, 'git-diff mtd..' or
'gitk mtd..' work.
