Hi, UBI is not an FTL, but it implements a lot of things a decent FTL would also need to implement. And implementing FTL on top of UBI would be much simpler than on top of a raw flash (I assume you are discussing a flash?). UBI has it's own strong sides and limitations. Here I described a simple FTL on top of UBI (long time ago): http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2008-January/020381.html -- Best Regards, Artem Bityutskiy
