I think what I'm thinking about is that in the specialized case of ubifs 
used for a read-only file system, such as a root file system (without 
/etc, /var, and so on), it would be possible for mkfs.ubifs to create a 
file system, and use as many LEBs as it needs for the actual data. On a 
read-only file system there doesn't even have to be a journal, although I 
don't know if that is possible.

In that case one could simply feed the required directory structure to 
mkfs.ubifs, and it would create the file system image, and report how many 
LEBs are required in the flash.

Ok, I'll have a look at the new one instead.
