Fail to mount cloned disk image with fastmap.

[Bill Pringlemeir]

I have back-ported the fastmap code from the 3.0 series to a 2.6.36
kernel on an ARM cpu.  It has been running for some time without issue
and the boot time is reduced by 1/2 second.  I just ran a test over
night with 'pppd' capturing packets and likely filled up the disk.

It appears that my kernel does not boot, so I made a clone of the disk
and then attempt to mount it on my Ubuntu machine with the following,

  modprobe nandsim first_id_byte=0x2c second_id_byte=0xda \
    third_id_byte=0x90 fourth_id_byte=0x95 parts=2,64,64
  flash_erase /dev/mtd3 0 0
  ubiformat /dev/mtd3 -f rootfs.ubi
  modprobe ubi mtd=3 fm_autoconvert=0

Actually at first, I did not specify the 'fm_autoconvert'.  In both
case, the 'modprobe' of the UBI fails with the 3.8 Ubuntu kernel.  I
though that if I specify 'fm_autoconvert=0', none of the 'fastmap' code
should be active?  Should I re-compile without MTD_UBI_FASTMAP to see if
I can mount the file system?  I would like to be able to look at the
file system, even in read-only mode.  The kernel logs are below from the
'ubi' modprobe.  Is there actually an issue here with UBI?  When I try
to mount the 'ubi' partition with,

 mount -t ubifs -o ro /dev/ubi0_3 /mnt/ubifs

additional issues are encountered.  But I think that some of the UBI
issues might be a problem?  Can I use some other flash with a bigger
size so that 'PEBs' can be reserved?

Of course, I have the disk image and can send additional information.

Thanks,
Bill Pringlemeir.
