I think your error was about the root inode:

"ubifs_iget: failed to read inode 1, error -2"

which is the inode of the root directory. Just like everything else, it
is stored in the index tree.

Of course the root inode is required to access the file-system. For some
reason it cannot be found. Probably if you enable all debug messages -
it may be useful.

Is this problem reproducible?
