It seems like you do not need repair ubifs partitions: < http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.37/Documentation/filesystems/ubifs.txt#L59 > > Both of these are non-problems in Linux.

I have been wanting to read a UBI volume containing a kernel image with a minimal "stage one" loader, use such kernel as "stage two" bootloader. There was about it during CELF [1], but no code available at this time. I wonder if it is possible to use a UBI library [2] to implement such idea.
