Hi,

I am using UBIFS on top of UBI on top of a MTD partition and then running some
workloads on the UBIFS filesystem. I actually want to determine the write
amplification factor for the workload, for which i need the actual number of
writes going to the MTD device. Do UBIFS/MTD systems record such statistics, or
will I have to make changes to the source code to obtain the statistics?
