Hi Guys,

I am tring to setup ubifs on an blackfin based embeded platform containg 
nand flash.
jffs2 is working ok on it.

So I have compiled the uclinux (kernel 2.6.28.10) with ubifs/mtd_ubi static 
support
If I pass with the bootargs ubi.mtd=3 , during booting I see

...

ubinfo gives me

root at pr1:~> /bin/ubinfo
UBI version: 1
Count of UBI devices: 1
UBI control device major/minor: 10:63
Present UBI devices: ubi0

I don't have /dev/ubi0 nor /dev/ubi_ctrl, however I do have some ubi stuff 
in my /sys file system

root at pr1:~> ls /sys/class/ubi/ubi0/
/sys/class/ubi/ubi0/avail_eraseblocks /sys/class/ubi/ubi0/min_io_size
/sys/class/ubi/ubi0/bad_peb_count /sys/class/ubi/ubi0/mtd_num

/sys/class/ubi/ubi0/max_ec /sys/class/ubi/ubi0/uevent
/sys/class/ubi/ubi0/max_vol_count /sys/class/ubi/ubi0/volumes_count

root at pr1:~> ls /sys/class/misc/ubi_ctrl/
/sys/class/misc/ubi_ctrl/dev /sys/class/misc/ubi_ctrl/uevent
/sys/class/misc/ubi_ctrl/subsystem/

I don't have /dev/ubi_ctrl so I can not crete (ubimkvol) ubi volume.

Can you please give me some pointers.

Best Regards
Dimitar Penev
