Yes, you may argue that with aging of the NAND the occurrence of bit-flips is common. That's true, but for new devices especially for SLC NAND the occurrence is usually rare on fresh parts. Also considering that most SLC are now manufactured in matured technologies. Also, if you are using UBIFS on top of NAND, then it will scrub the data on first detection of bit-flips, thereby reducing the accumulation of bit-flips and thereby conserving read performance. >> >> [...] >> Right no objections to using BCH8 for rootfs, except it stopped working >> over past year or so. > > This would be BCH8-sw on OMAP3 right?
