ubifs.fsck implementation

[Colin Foe-Parker]

Good Morning Everyone,

Back in February of 2010 there was a mailing list thread discussing the implementation of ubifs.fsck.  (http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2010-February/029017.html)  The thread discusses how a user space fsck application was not implemented and that a kernel '--recover' mount option would probably be more relevant.  At which point the thread died.

I am currently running into an issue where our NAND based ubifs filesystem is going read only after extended periods in the field.  The testing points to power-cuts as the probable cause.  We have made large steps towards minimizing the possibility of a power cut etc. but we can't help but think that a fsck/recovery tool would be extremely helpful in managing the situation. 

That being said, I was hoping to gauge the external interest in developing such a tool/feature.  Additionally, if we could start a discussion around the best manner of implementation.

Thanks!

-Colin
