Err, sorry, I confused you because in my reply I used UBI _volume_
nodes, not UBI device nodes.

/dev/ubiX are UBI device nodes.
/dev/ubiX_Y are UBI volume nodes - volume Y on device X.

So I think when you successfully create the volume, you'll get the
volume device.

But you got it right, judging from your response.

It should be character device, not block device, i.e. use

mknod /dev/ubi0 c 253 0

Just pushed a fix which makes ubi utilities to be more verbose about
errors.

Hi all,
I wanna have a try ubifs on nand, and do as written on
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubifs.html
1. compile, install and boot the kernel (2.6.26-rc3)
the configuration option for ubi and nand is default on as module.
2. make the mtd-utils.
3. create a ubi when I got the error

# ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 0
UBI device number 0, total 2048 LEBs (31457280 bytes, 30.0 MiB), available
2024
LEBs (31088640 bytes, 29.6 MiB), LEB size 15360 bytes (15.0 KiB)
# ubinfo
UBI version:                    1
Count of UBI devices:           1
UBI control device major/minor: 10:63
Present UBI devices:            ubi0
# ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N test -s 30MiB
ubimkvol: error!: "/dev/ubi0" is not an UBI device node

I did miss any step installation mtd-tools or create UBI device...

Thanks!!!

 best regards, Evgeny

Hi, please check this:

cat /sys/class/ubi/ubi0_0/dev
and
ls -l /dev/ubi0_0
Major/minor should match. E.g., on my system I have:

[dedekind@gollum /]$ cat /sys/class/ubi/ubi0_0/dev
252:1
[dedekind@gollum /]$ ls -l /dev/ubi0_0
crw-rw---- 1 root root 252, 1 2008-12-08 17:11 /dev/ubi0_0
