Subject: State of the UBI fastmap feature
Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2025 08:00:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250902-yarn-from-020874b4da63@thorsis.com> (raw)
Hello everyone,
after using UBI for almost 15 years now without fastmap, I'm currently
experimenting with that feature. The help text in Kconfig menu
(drivers/mtd/ubi/Kconfig) still says "Experimental feature" and
further down:
> Important: this feature is experimental so far and the on-flash
> format for fastmap may change in the next kernel versions
Is this still the current state? I can not remember seing any patches
touching fastmap in the last time. Are there plans to stabilize this?
Will there be changes in the on-flash format? Do folks even use this
feature? In production?
Happy to get some opinions here.
Greets
Alex
