I guess I meant to somehow make sure that UBIFS exclusively owns the mtd
device and no one or nothing accesses it.

But I really do not know - the issues you report do not look like UBIFS
issues - the data on the flash is corrupted somehow - dunno how. There
are billions hypothetical reasons. It may be that your DRAM has a
problem, or DMA, or whatever. You can try to disable various parts of SW
(drivers, user-space apps) and see if it helps, and may be somehow find
what triggers the issue.

Well, you can try the ones you used, or the fsstress test from the LTP
project, or I'd recommend to try the integck test from mtd-utils.
