UBI - exclude bootloader blocks from wear levelling

[Darwin Rambo]

Wear levelling is done across a "ubi device" (not the whole nand device) which is associated with a mtd partition. Your bootloader and kernel mtd partitions will not be wear levelled, only your ubi file system partitions. i.e. ubi doesn't know about non-ubi mtd partitions.

I think that's the gist of it.

Subject: UBI - exclude bootloader blocks from wear levelling

I'm new to UBI... I understood that static wear levelling is applied
accross the whole device (a NAND device in my case); If so, how can
I exclude blocks reserved for the bootloader from wear levelling?

Thanks for your help,
Lauren.
