OK, thanks. Actually, writing such a tool is not completely out of
question in my case... How hard do you think it would be to implement it?
Would such a tool simply change some values in a few structures or would it
have to do something much more complicated? Or could some existing tool from
mtd-utils be extended to do the job?
