hi all,
I am trying to use ubi to attach mtd3(3.9G),but there are some

Looks weird, is this reproducible with nandsim?

After a power cut / reset, we experience similar problems.
I just upgraded to linux 2.6.39 as more and more UBIFS 'bugs' seem to get solved.
Unfortunately, we use a Spansion GL512P (64MB) NOR Flash chip,
which makes life kind of hard:
[ 0.510000] UBI: attaching mtd1 to ubi0
[ 0.510000] UBI: physical eraseblock size: 131072 bytes (128 KiB)
[ 0.520000] UBI: logical eraseblock size: 130944 bytes
[ 0.530000] UBI: smallest flash I/O unit: 1
[ 0.530000] UBI: VID header offset: 64 (aligned 64)
[ 0.540000] UBI: data offset: 128
[ 0.540000] UBI error: ubi_scan_add_used: two LEBs with same sequence number 9
[ 0.550000] UBI error: ubi_init: cannot attach mtd1

Hmm. Can you confirm that:
1. you can attach the mtd device successfully.
2. detach it and attach again successfully.
3. Have a power cut, and then be unable attach it again because of this
error?
Do you flash an UBI image? How do you do this?

UBI itself is always able to attach to the mtd. The kernel is present on
the same chip and is never corrupted (of course it is never written to).
However, many times either the recovery of UBIFS fails, or we get some
errors after booting the kernel (probably spawned by 'ubi_bgt0d'?).
I will be happy to provide more information, but I am not sure what
exactly. It is difficult to separate what procedure corrupt the filesystem
and what does work. For example, even a normal 'reboot' command
results in the message 'recovery needed'; is that normal?
We flash a UBI image generated by the buildroot toolchain (we used
buildroot 2010.05 and 2011.02). We are able to work with the system
for an arbitrary amount of reboots and/or power cycles, but I can almost
destroy the filesystem on command.
I am working with a custom designed board for research purposes.
The board has been available for about a year right now. We started
with linux 2.6.33.4 and tried various patches and kernel upgrades,
to no avail. We think the main problem is that we use a Spansion
GL512P NOR flash, while most mechanisms within UBI(FS) assume a
certain state machine within the chip that may not hold at all times
for this one?

Start with this:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_how_send_bugreport
If you cannot isolate the error - I cannot do it as well for sure. So
please, try to fine one specific thing which you think is a problem, and
ask to help with that specific thing. The above link should help. In
general, the first things you need to do are:
1. validate your mtd device with the test - this is always good thing to
do.
2. enable UBIFS debugging (not debugging messages)
3. report the issue properly as it is described at the MTD web site.
WRT. reboot: if your 'reboot' command results in 'recovery needed' then
your 'reboot' command does not unmount the file-system and just reboots
it. Of course from UBIFS's POW this is a power cut and it needs
recovery. But there is nothing to be afraid of if you know you synced
your files. So you need to take a look what "reboot" does - it may do
completely different things on different systems. E.g., does it sync the
data? does it unmount FSes?
