Hi Artem,

First, thank Richard for his contributions to UBI/UBIFS.


I regret to say the updating of UBI/UBIFS was blocked about 2 months.
So Richard could help us maintaining the improvement of UBIFS next?

I've sent some patches to MTD list these days, what's the opinion of
you and Richard about these pacthes?

   [PATCH] UBI: add ubi_err() to report the failure of leb read
   [PATCH RFC 1/2] UBIFS: fix empty log leb error
   [PATCH] UBI: fix soft lockup in ubi_check_volume()

   and ubidump v6

The patch "UBI: fix soft lockup in ubi_check_volume()" solves a really
important problem, I wish it could be merged into stable soon.

I've discussed with Richard about the recovery of an corrupted UBIFS
image, for example, ECC error. And actually my colleagues and I had
worked out some features to improve the reliability of UBIFS. We are
happy to share our design and greatly aspire the help from community.

Also, I think we could start to add more functions to my ubidump to
make it a useful tool.

I think the updating of UBI/UBIFS will re-start soon, am I right?

BR,
Hu
