1. ubifs号称性能比yaffs2 好，同时压缩可读写，文件系统image体较小同时可写，相当不错
2. ubifs制作
(1) mkfs.ubifs
mkfs.ubifs -r system -m 2048 -e 126976 -c 1057 -x zlib -o system.ubifs
-r说的目录
-m说的是nand flash的页大小，一般都是2048或者4096，当然也有些是512，硬件特性决定好了，或者说驱动规定好了，有些平台4096页当做2048用也是用的
-e说的是逻辑擦除块大小，大家知道nand flash页读页写块擦，一个设备多个块，一个块多个页，一般也都是一个块是64个页，这样算一下无论擦除块大小就是2048*64=131072，-e的算法是物理擦除块大小-2*页大小，这里就是131072-2*2048=126976
-c说的是最大逻辑块编号，这个很重要，不能大也不能小，太小也要大于image大小，太大mount有问题，计算起点是分区的物理块数量，比如128MiB的mtd分区，物理块数量是128MiB/2048/64 = 1024个，需要减去2个坏块保留块，减去1个wear-leveling块，还要减去1个eba的块，等等，比如最终的值是1022，注意，如果物理上这个分区有坏块的话，kernel会扫描到的，这时候，我们计算的这个值就要减去坏块数了，否则会有逻辑块大于物理块数的内核问题mount失败，确切知道坏块数是比较困难的，一般做法是做一个坏块容忍数，比如20个，这样我们再减去20个坏块，不要担心这个会浪费空间，ubinize的autoresize选项就是解决这个问题的。具体的这个值需要计算。！！！！
-o说的image名字
-x说的是压缩方法，默认是lzo，还支持zlib，zlib压缩率高些，但是lzo压缩解压速度快
(2) ubinize
ubinize -o system.ubi -m 2048 -p 131072 ubinize.cfg
-o说的是输出image
-m还是页大小
-p是物理擦除块大小
ubinize.cfg是volume配置文件，例子如下：
- [ubifs]
- mode=ubi
- image=system.ubifs #说的是mkfs.ubifs的结果
- vol_id=0
- vol_size=100MiB #说的是volume大小，用-e和-c的值做乘法计算，一般不用写，autoresize会自动根据mtd分区大小适应，默认值是image大小，写了这个作用是帮助检查image是否超过了分区限制，制作时候就提示，否则mount会出错。-c的值是经过计算的最大值了，不过autoresize参数会自适应大小，不会浪费空间的。
- vol_type=dynamic
- vol_alignment=1
- vol_name=system #说的是分区名字
- vol_flags=autoresize
(4) uboot支持
-0- 需要打开的配置 - 需要烧写mkfs.ubifs结果时候需要打开，ubinize处理过的不需要
CONFIG_CMD_UBI
CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
CONFIG_LZO
CONFIG_RBTREE
CONFIG_ZLIB
CONFIG_GZIP
-1- ubifs烧写
mkfs.ubifs工具制作的结果，就是ubifs镜像，不包含volume信息，需要用
nand erase.part system
ubi part system - 激活分区
ubi create system - 创建分区
ubi write 84000000 system xxxxx - xxxxx表示镜像实际大小
-2- ubi volume bin烧写
mkfs.ubifs后，使用ubinize处理了ubifs的镜像后，镜像含有了volume信息，直接
nand write 84000000 system xxxxx - xxxxx表示镜像实际大小
(5) kernel支持
- Device Drivers --->
- Memory Technology Device(MTD) support --->
- UBI - Unsorted block images --->
- <*> Enable UBI - Unsorted block images
- File systems --->
- Miscellaneous filesystems --->
- <*> UBIFS file system support
- [*] Advanced compression options
- [*] LZO compression support
- [*] ZLIB compression support
(6) android支持
-1- andriod/system/core/rootdir/init.rc
mount yaffs2 mtd@userdata /data nosuid nodev
改为：
mount ubifs ubi@userdata /data nosuid nodev
-2- 增加对ubifs的mount支持
- andriod/system/core/init/builtins.c
- 在 } else if (!strncmp(source, "loop@", 5)) {
- 之前加上
- + }else if (!strncmp(source, "ubi@", 4)) {
- + n = ubi_attach_mtd(source + 4);
- + if (n < 0) {
- + return -1;
- + }
- + sprintf(tmp, "/dev/ubi%d_0", n);
- + if (wait)
- + wait_for_file(tmp, COMMAND_RETRY_TIMEOUT);
- + if (mount(tmp, target, system, flags, options) < 0) {
- + ubi_detach_dev(n);
- + return -1;
- + }
- + return 0;
- + }else if (!strncmp(source, "loop@", 5)) {
- 3. andriod/system/core/init/init.c
- 在static int property_triggers_enabled = 0;之后加上
- +static unsigned ubifs_enabled = 1;
- static int set_init_properties_action(int nargs, char **args)
- {
- property_set("ro.revision", tmp);

- }
- int main(int argc, char **argv)
- {
- action_for_each_trigger("post-fs", action_add_queue_tail);
- + action_for_each_trigger("ubi-fs", action_add_queue_tail);
- }

- /*
- * UBI device creation (the same as MTD device attachment)
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * MTD devices may be attached using %UBI_IOCATT ioctl command of the UBI
- * control device. The caller has to properly fill and pass
- * &struct ubi_attach_req object - UBI will attach the MTD device specified in
- * the request and return the newly created UBI device number as the ioctl
- * return value.
- *
- * UBI device deletion (the same as MTD device detachment)
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * An UBI device maybe deleted with %UBI_IOCDET ioctl command of the UBI
- * control device.
- *
- * UBI volume creation
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * UBI volumes are created via the %UBI_IOCMKVOL IOCTL command of UBI character
- * device. A &struct ubi_mkvol_req object has to be properly filled and a
- * pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
- *
- * UBI volume deletion
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To delete a volume, the %UBI_IOCRMVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
- * device should be used. A pointer to the 32-bit volume ID hast to be passed
- * to the IOCTL.
- *
- * UBI volume re-size
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * To re-size a volume, the %UBI_IOCRSVOL IOCTL command of the UBI character
- * device should be used. A &struct ubi_rsvol_req object has to be properly
- * filled and a pointer to it has to be passed to the IOCTL.
- *
- * UBI volume update
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * Volume update should be done via the %UBI_IOCVOLUP IOCTL command of the
- * corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to a 64-bit update
- * size should be passed to the IOCTL. After this, UBI expects user to write
- * this number of bytes to the volume character device. The update is finished
- * when the claimed number of bytes is passed. So, the volume update sequence
- * is something like:
- *
- * fd = open("/dev/my_volume");
- * ioctl(fd, UBI_IOCVOLUP, &image_size);
- * write(fd, buf, image_size);
- * close(fd);
- *
- * Atomic eraseblock change
- * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- *
- * Atomic eraseblock change operation is done via the %UBI_IOCEBCH IOCTL
- * command of the corresponding UBI volume character device. A pointer to
- * &struct ubi_leb_change_req has to be passed to the IOCTL. Then the user is
- * expected to write the requested amount of bytes. This is similar to the
- * "volume update" IOCTL.

- * This data structure is used to specify MTD device UBI has to attach and the

- *
- * Most applications should pass %0 in @vid_hdr_offset to make UBI use default

- * the boot-loader would not normally need to read EC headers (unless it needs

- * 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
- * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th sub-page
- * of the first page and add needed padding.

3. 常见问题
(1) ubifs_check_node: bad CRC: calculated 0xca82b3d7, read 0x9be0e26
ubifs_check_node: bad node at LEB 51:45312
注意这个crc错误，说的错误并不是LED 0的问题，也就是说第一个逻辑块没问题，CRC是正确的，这个问题的一个解决办法是要精确mkfs.ubifs时候的-c参数的值，不能太大了
(2)
[ 5.433349] UBIFS error (pid 71): ubifs_read_node: bad node type (150 but expected 1)
[ 5.434204] UBIFS error (pid 71): ubifs_read_node: bad node at LEB 524:4072, LEB mapping status 1
[ 5.435241] Not a node, first 24 bytes:
[ 5.435729] 00000000: 34 fb 21 ee 84 18 69 2d 60 b0 33 e6 74 f8 1c 15 da ca a1 c9 96 e3 ac 51 4.!...i-`.3.t..........Q
这个问题是，ubifs给nand驱动的buffer不一定是按照硬件对齐要求的，所以要驱动来判断，dma等地址需要页对齐等特性
(3) crc错误，但是LED 0:0
可能镜像没烧对，或者mtd-utils的版本和内核版本相差较远
(4) 可以擦掉一个分区，并不需要非要烧写image到那个分区，也可以直接mount的，这样可以做实验验证ubi的性能，前提是kernel配置好了，mount正确了
(5) 如果是跟文件系统或者要手动mount，以下步骤供参考:
uboot里, mtd命令后，看到需要用ubifs的mtd分区的编号，比如
device nand0 <rda_nand>, # parts = 10
#: name size offset mask_flags
0: bootloader 0x00200000 0x00000000 0
1: boot 0x00800000 0x00800000 0
2: system 0x08000000 0x02000000 0
system分区mtd编号是2，命令如下:
nand erase.part system
命令行参数增加
ubi.mtd=2，如果有多个，可以增加，如ubi.mtd=2,ubi.mtd=1，这样传递后，内核启动后会做attach的操作，类似android的init中的attach那样，attach之后，/dev/下就建立好设备了，进入系统后用:
内核控制台里，mount -t ubifs /dev/ubi0_0 /mnt 即可mount
