Dan, I am trying to do the opposite: have one UBI container with
multiple volumes (this is similar to hard drive and its partitions).
Wear levelling is going to be spread over the whole flash, and that
should be far better than having smaller mtd partitions. Now I can use
ubi tools to resize volumes, clean them out, reformat them and all of
this on the fly. My only concern is flash corruption. Anyone have the
experience with multi-volume UBI and flash corruption(s)?

Thanks,
Charles
