UBI FS on 2MiB eraseblock Hynix MLC NAND

Thu Aug 4 09:59:21 EDT 2011

Hello,

While trying to use UBI FS on Hynix MLC NAND (2MiB eraseblock, 8k
pagesize) I faced with the problem that root mounts well only during
first boot after it was flashed.
On the second boot it reports that it failed to recover master node.
If some one has tested UBI FS on devices with large eraseblock?
