So, you have your UBI volume, it contains your root file-sytem, right?
Then you "remount your" root to /tmp/newrootfs? If yes, I would like to
understand how exactly you do this? Give some more details.

If the inode number of / is the same as /tmp/newroofs, and the device
number is the same, this is the same inode, no?

This means that /tmp/newrootfs.img will also be visible
in /tmp/newrootfs/tmp/newrootfs.img, no?
