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