Do you want to send a patch? A warning is too much since on some tiny embedded system with NOR flash mtdblock is still a good choice. ubiblock is mostly useful for NAND flash. > I remember there was still some use case(s) for mtdblock but I can't remember > now what was it, perhaps we should document the expectations? > (Is that for JFFS2 to mount?) a long time ago mount didn't accept character devices, so you had to pass mtdblockX to mount JFFS2. This limitation is gone.
