So I got 167 patches from the ubifs 2.6.29 back port tree, some of them
looking very relevant. I did manage to format, attach and mount once, but it appears very unstable reporting more and more errors, like:

UBI warning: process_eb: valid VID header but corrupted EC header at PEB 959

UBI error: check_corruption: PEB 1065 contains corrupted VID header, and the data does not contain all 0xFF, this may be a non-UBI PEB or a severe VID header corruption which requires manual inspection

I will make a new post with more details, using another mail client that dont screw the header info.
