when this error happens:

I had to work on some other issues yesterday, but I'm back to the UBIFS
error.  Adding the kernel boot arg "ignore_loglevel" has enabled the
flood of UBIFS messages.  I will be working on the issue today and will
let you know what I find.

may be some problems, but hopefully we can fix them.

Thank you very much for that information -- I will keep that in mind as
I go through the code.
