Tommi:

Thank you for this patch. Your timing is perfect since I had written about
precisely this feature a little over a week ago:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2008-August/022556.html

If I can get my nanddump deblocking patch completed, the following should
work as a use case:

    flash_eraseall -q <device-out>
    nanddump -o -b -s <offset> -l <size> <device-in> | nandwrite -q -p -s
<offset> <device-out>

Regards,

Grant
