Ahh yes... that sounds right.  It's curious that ubinfo still thinks
it has access to 1024 blocks, if the mtd driver (presumably?) is
taking away the last 2 blocks for itself.
It also seems like I should be able to shut that off, since
(presumably?) it adds no value to the bad block management provided by
UBI.

I'll go look into that.

Thank you very much.
