UBIFS Recovery Process on Power Cutoff

[Mani K]

Hello,

We have a system based on a Custom ARM SOC running on a Linux kernel
with a UBIFS filesystem maintained on NOR flash. When the system power
is cut off abruptly, we notice recovery-related messages when the
filesystem is mounted. This recovery process takes additional boot
time of 2-3 seconds.

Here are the log messages we observe:
[    4.411551] ubi0: background thread "ubi_bgt0d" started, PID 586
[    7.191406] UBIFS (ubi0:0): Mounting in unauthenticated mode

UUID 00000000-0000-0008-0000-000000000001, small LPT model

Is there any option to prevent the recovery process from happening?
