I am using UBIFS with the below partitioning layout.
<6m(bootloader)
512k(environment)
512k(redundant-environment)
5m(kernel),
170m(filesystem),
40m(user_data1),
-(user_data2)>
For the UBI volume 0 which has 170 MiB,
ubinfo reports 164.7 MiB, which is explained by:
(PEB size - LEB size) * (no of PEB's - reserved PEBs)
(256 - 248) * (680 - 6) = 5.392 MiB
Total size = 170 MiB - 5.39 = 164.6 MiB
root at BOX:/# ubinfo /dev/ubi0
ubi0
Volumes count: 1
Logical eraseblock size: 253952 bytes, 248.0 KiB
Total amount of logical eraseblocks: 680 (172687360 bytes, 164.7 MiB)
Amount of available logical eraseblocks: 0 (0 bytes)
Maximum count of volumes 128
Count of bad physical eraseblocks: 0
Count of reserved physical eraseblocks: 6
Current maximum erase counter value: 5
Minimum input/output unit size: 4096 bytes
Character device major/minor: 253:0
Present volumes: 0
But according to "df", UBI volume 0 is sized 148.9 MiB. That's, 15.8
MiB more in terms of consumption.
root at BOX:/# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on
ubi0:rootfs 148.9M 132.8M 16.1M 89% /
root at BOX:/#
Can someone explain where this 15 MiB is getting lost?

Vikram
