5Description:
6 The ubi/ class sub-directory belongs to the UBI subsystem and
7 provides general UBI information, per-UBI device information
8 and per-UBI volume information.

14Description:
15 This file contains version of the latest supported UBI on-media
16 format. Currently it is 1, and there is no plan to change this.
17 However, if in the future UBI needs on-flash format changes
18 which cannot be done in a compatible manner, a new format
19 version will be added. So this is a mechanism for possible
20 future backward-compatible (but forward-incompatible)
21 improvements.

28 The /sys/class/ubi0, /sys/class/ubi1, etc directories describe
29 UBI devices (UBI device 0, 1, etc). They contain general UBI
30 device information and per UBI volume information (each UBI
31 device may have many UBI volumes)

130 The /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/ubiX_0/, /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/ubiX_1/,

136KernelVersion: 2.6.22
137Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
138Description:
139 Volume alignment - the value the logical eraseblock size of
140 this volume has to be aligned on. For example, 2048 means that
141 logical eraseblock size is multiple of 2048. In other words,
142 volume logical eraseblock size is UBI device logical eraseblock
143 size aligned to the alignment value.

157Description:
158 The amount of data this volume contains. This value makes sense
159 only for static volumes, and for dynamic volume it equivalent
160 to the total volume size in bytes.

194Date: July 2006
195KernelVersion: 2.6.22
196Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
197Description:
198 Contains ASCII "0\n" if the update marker is not set for this
199 volume, and "1\n" if it is set. The update marker is set when
200 volume update starts, and cleaned when it ends. So the presence
201 of the update marker indicates that the volume is being updated
202 at the moment of the update was interrupted. The later may be
203 checked using the "corrupted" sysfs file.

212 value.
