Thank you very much. I do not apply this patch: "UBIFS: use
max_write_size during recovery". So the code is "skip = ALIGN(offs +
UBIFS_CH_SZ, c->min_io_size) - offs;" the c->min_io_size is 8. When i
modify MTD/UBI/UBIFS and apply that patch,use  c->max_write_size
instead,this problem is solved.I think that patch not just an optimize
but fix this problem. Should we use "fix" in the title of that patch?
By the way, in my machine UBIFS_CH_SZ is 24 not 64.
