gluebi emulates an MTD device on top of an UBI volume. It does not
emulate a block device.

I think you used UBI->gluebi->mtdblock->FAT. And this is bad because
mtdblock is bad - it loses data in case of power cuts. If you will never
have any power cuts, this setup may be ok, although very suboptimal in
terms of write speed.
