Dear Sean, thank you so much for this suggestion.
Just a final help I need here.

For future experiment purposes, I am trying to setup my qemu-arm
environment using ubifs/squashfs and "nandsim" module.
I already have a working setup for qemu-arm with busybox/initramfs.
Now I wanted to prepare ubifs/squashfs based busybox rootfs which I
can use for booting the mainline kernel.
Is it possible ?
Are there already some pre-built ubifs images available which I can
use for my qemu-arm ?
Or, please guide me how to do it ?

I think it is more convenient to do all experiments with "nandsim"
instead of corrupting the actual NAND hardware.
If you have any other suggestions please let me know.


Thanks,
Pintu
