But Windows do not recognize UBIFS.  I have to support VFAT to work on
UBI, how can I do? Guess I have nothing to do but suffer the slow
time. Now I just want to save a little time, do not
read the whole old mapped LEB back, but only necessary pages.  The
VFAT partitions usuallly use for storing  media data (mp3, mp4, avi
....). Only the filesystem meta-data stored area has much chance to be
little change.

So I needs some functions which I discribe before.  I met some problem
when I created them.
Maybe one more day will be fix,  or still can't, if it last too long
time still can't fix, hope I can get some help from you if you are
free.

Thank you :-)
