According to your disclaimer I'm notifying you that some intruder from your company sent this e-mail to a public mailing list, please fire him. I'm deleting this e-mail from my mailbox as your disclaimer asks me to do, but unfortunately it is archived and you would have to pay piles of money to remove it from the mailing list archives. Seriously, vs. bad block table: UBI does not have it's own block table, and it asks this information from the driver. So probably it is ok for the driver to store the BBT, although your flash is not big, so simple scanning and building BBT in RAM would save you some flash space. -- Best regards, Artem Bityutskiy (Битюцкий Артём)
