Re: UBIFS volume corruption (bad node at LEB 0:0)

Hi,

I've just upgraded few of my tests to do re-mount testing, and
remounting works fine - I couldn't find any problem.

I wonder what does -d option mean. Could you please try to play with
things like:

1. Try to remove the "sync" parameter of "mount -o remount,rw,sync".
BTW, -o sync makes your rsync work much slower than if you had async
mount and call sync after rsync is done.
2. Try to avoid re-mounting the fs into RO mode, but just call "sync".
3. When you reboot, I guess your boot scripts try to mount the FS in R/O
mode first. Try to tweak them and mount the FS read-write for the first
time.

Please, see what happens, may be this will give us some clue.
