5 | UBI is a software layer above MTD layer which admits of LVM-like | |
6 | logical volumes on top of MTD devices, hides some complexities of | |
7 | flash chips like wear and bad blocks and provides some other useful | |
8 | capabilities. Please, consult the MTD web site for more details | |
9 | (www.linux-mtd.infradead.org). | |

18 | This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest | |
19 | erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks | |
20 | of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing | |
21 | wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase | |

22 | counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. |

24 | The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and | |
25 | other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. | |
26 | However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock | |
3f502622 | 27 | life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., |
6e0c84e3 | 28 | to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). |

34 | help |
35 | If the MTD device admits of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NAND flash), UBI | |
36 | reserves some amount of physical eraseblocks to handle new bad | |
37 | eraseblocks. For example, if a flash physical eraseblock becomes bad, | |
38 | UBI uses these reserved physical eraseblocks to relocate the bad one. | |
39 | This option specifies how many physical eraseblocks will be reserved | |
40 | for bad eraseblock handling (percents of total number of good flash | |
41 | eraseblocks). If the underlying flash does not admit of bad | |
42 | eraseblocks (e.g. NOR flash), this value is ignored and nothing is | |
43 | reserved. Leave the default value if unsure. | |

2ba3d76a DP |
48 | This option enables gluebi - an additional driver which emulates MTD |
49 | devices on top of UBI volumes: for each UBI volumes an MTD device is | |
50 | created, and all I/O to this MTD device is redirected to the UBI | |
51 | volume. This is handy to make MTD-oriented software (like JFFS2) | |
52 | work on top of UBI. Do not enable this unless you use legacy | |
53 | software. | |
