Thank you for the reply.

Then, is there any technical reason that translation layer
for bare NAND flash memory is *not* exist?
(NFTL is not for base flash memory but for DiskOnChip)

(I prefer to use translation layer in MTD because UBI is still
experimental and is not included stable kernel tree.)

If something wrong, let me know. Thank you in advance.
