Hi Artem,

That's interesting... Do you have more details or any data on those eMMC
power-cut failures ?

I plan to be working soon (December) on UBIFS robustness issues with unstable
modern SLCs; besides using nandsim to simulate SLC (and maybe MLC) issues,
I also have real hardware with a power-cutting framework ready for testing.

Best Regards,
