Yes, ubiupdatevol was one of the candidates. However, I needed the capability
to upgrade software incrementally instead of packing the entire ubifs image
(This is because I can't afford to reserve storage for large software-upgrade
packages).
I had posted this query about ubiupdatevol @
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50699945/apply-incremental-patches-on-ubifs-volume
and finally had to discard ubifs for my purpose for the same reason.
That and the fact the current software-upgrade solution that I have works well
with block-based filesystems.
