I'm resending this response because I haven't seen it in the mailing 
list archives.  I just changed my mailing list email address so there 
might have been a glitch due to that change.  My apologies if this is a 
duplicate reply.

I don't have a kernel configuration for which my upgrade scenario has
not eventually produced files system errors.

I've made sure to apply the latest patches from the 2.6.35 backport repo
and am using the latest from the mtd-utils repo.

$ ./integck -p /mnt/ubifs

..fails soon after I run the test.  There is a ton of logged data.  I've
attempted to snip out the first error.

Does anything in this output suggest a direction to start digging?  I
would really appreciate any direction you could provide.

In spite of this, I appreciate your efforts to assist me.
