UBIFS not mounting on linux-omap 2.6.36

UBIFS not mounting on linux-omap 2.6.36

[Charles Manning]

Hi All

I am trying to nail down an omap3 ubifs  performance regression, but cannot 
get Steve Sakoman's 2.6.35 or 2.6.36 kernels
http://www.sakoman.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-omap-2.6.git
 to mount ubifs although the same procedure works with older kernels and works 
with the linux-omap 2.6.37 master.

Any hints?

Thanks

Charles


The NAND had been initilised with:

ubiformat /dev/mtd4 -s 512

ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -m -N foo

Well, the only hint I can give is some kind of bisecting, but probably
you do not need such hint :-)
