Params are in: http://git.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/conf/machine/om-gta02.conf MKUBIFS_ARGS = "-m 2048 -e 129024 -c 2047" for mkfs.ubifs UBINIZE_ARGS = "-m 2048 -p 128KiB -s 512" for ubinize So I don't see param for subpage setting for mkfs.ubifs, its only in ubinize, but it didn't help for my NAND, even when I prepare ubi volume on neo with -s 2048 -O 2048 and then try to updatevol with full image (small image like initramfs-kexecboot works for me just fine). That's why I didn't push patch for setting it in UBINIZE_ARGS. > Using the ubi filesystem on the freerunner is not an easy task. A ubi image > can't be flashed using nandwrite.

Therefore I patched qi :) Ah great!, thanks -- uin:136542059 jid:martin.ja...@gmail.com Jansa Martin sip:jama...@voip.wengo.fr JaMa _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list Shr-User@lists.shr-project.org http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
