Hi Qi,

Sorry for the late reply (I was quite busy on other projects
lately :-/).

I was glad to meet you too.

For the ideas part, I haven't thought about it since my talk at ELC.
I guess the solution proposed on the MTD website is a good starting
point [1].
Some guys are also considering the "avoid any erase/program operation
when you're about to loose power", but as I already explained I think
the MTD/UBI/UBIFS layers should not rely on this assumption and take
appropriate action to prevent any issue caused by unstable bits.

Best Regards,

Boris
