Yep, I can't really see many normal OE users will have converted existing images over to UBI so it seems like the right way to start is as we mean to go on. I'll test these patches on the Pandora NAND image later (they are along the same lines as the patches I have been working on for UBI/UBIFS support but have the extra bonus feature of actually looking like they work). It will make a nice change from post processing a TAR ;). Regards, John Willis
