Error when mounting ubi image

Error when mounting ubi image

[Patrick]

Dear mailing-list,

I am still facing some trouble with UBI and UBIFS. I am working on an 
OMAP4 processor with a 3.0.21 kernel and a Micron MT29F4G08ABBDAH4 1GB 
NAND Flash.

I generate the ubi image of my rootfs using the following command:

   mkfs.ubifs -r my_rootfs -o my_image.ubifs -m 2048 -e 129024 -c 4060
   ubinize -o my_rootfs.ubi -m 2048 -p 128KiB -s 512 ubinize.cfg

And the following ubinize.cfg file:

   [ubifs]
   mode=ubi
   image=my_image.ubifs
   vol_id=0
   vol_type=static
   vol_name=my_rootfs

Then I flash this image and mount it with the following commands:

   ubiformat /dev/mtd4 -f my_rootfs.ubi
   ubiattach -p /dev/mtd4
   mount -t ubifs ubi0_0 /media/test/

I then have the following error:

   mount: block device ubi0_0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

And from the kernel (dmesg):

UBI warning: ubi_eba_read_leb: CRC error: calculated 0x34afeca5, must be 
0x74215933
UBI warning: ubi_open_volume: volume 0 on UBI device 0 is corrupted
UBIFS warning (pid 226): init_constants_early: UBI volume is corrupted -

UBIFS: static UBI volume - read-only mode
UBIFS error (pid 226): mount_ubifs: cannot mount read-write - read-only 
media

UBIFS: mounted read-only

UBIFS: journal size:       9033728 bytes (8822 KiB, 8 MiB, 71 LEBs)
UBIFS: media format:       w4/r0 (latest is w4/r0)
UBIFS: default compressor: lzo
UBIFS: reserved for root:  0 bytes (0 KiB)

I couldn't find what I am doing wrong. Any help will be really appreciated !

Thanks in advance

I reply myself to add some informations:

I have tried to add the following flags to the ubinize.cfg:

   vol_type=dynamic
   vol_flags=autoresize

With those flags I could mount the image successfully. But when I detach 
the volume an reattach it I have some ECC errors:

   ubiattach -p /dev/mtd4
   UBI device number 0, total 4057 LEBs (523450368 bytes, 499.2 MiB),
   available 3371 LEBs (434939904 bytes, 414.8 MiB), LEB size 129024
   bytes (126.0 KiB)

   mount -t ubifs ubi0_0 /media/card/
   ls /media/card
   ...
   umount /media/card
   ubidetach -p /dev/mtd4

   ubiattach -p /dev/mtd4

I have the following error message in the kernel debug and then it start 
an infinite error loop.

UBI: attaching mtd4 to ubi0
UBI: physical eraseblock size:   131072 bytes (128 KiB)
UBI: logical eraseblock size:    129024 bytes

UBI: number of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling: 80

Again any help would be really appreciated.

I think your MTD driver is buggy - it fails to do sub-page I/O but
reports that it supports sub-pages. Either fix sub-pages support or do
not use them. You can find a lot if info about sub-pages in the MTD web
site. Also, it is a good idea to run the MTD tests, just like it is
suggested here:
