Thanks Shmulik - I did not have time to look at the patches, but the overall description looks good. I will review the patches as soon as I can. Thanks for making sense of this mess.
But one more think is the mtd web-site. I've grepped for '1%' and there are plenty of them. I've changed them all to 2% more or less mechanically - only cleaned up one section by removing out-of-date information. Would you please grep for '2%' and review if the information there is reasonable? Also, would you please add some more info to this FAQ entry:
http://linux-mtd.infradead.org/faq/ubi.html#L_bad_blocks_exceeded
Or even better if you could write a separate section for this stuff in the documentation, then you could remove that FAQ entry completely.
Thanks a lot!
