I am probably missing something here, but how can UBI be useful by itself? I would think until UBIFS is ready there is not much one can do with it. Please tell me I am wrong ;-) I am not aware of any non-commercial solution that can be used on a system that: 1. Has lots (gigabytes) of flash 2. Must be power-fail safe. 3. Must boot in seconds even after power cycle 4. Does not have internal battery or super-capacitor to allow for sync on power failure. I hope UBI+UBIFS will be able to do that but it is not ready yet. Another possibility is logfs but it is not ready either. Sorry if that is a bit off-topic. Regards, Sergei Sharonov
