Glad to see SquashFS will be used not only by myself :-)

Could you explain how one can write a rootfs.sqaushfs to a ubiblock
from Linux and then what steps are needed in barebox?

So far I've only found this info about ubiblock:
http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubi.html#L_ubiblock, but it
doesn't say much.

My actions were:

ubiattach -p /dev/mtd5
ubiblock --create /dev/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 rootfs.squashfs

Can I mount /dev/ubi0_0 via mount? If yes, what parameters I should use?

How can I mount this volume in barebox step-by-step?

Thanks.

Yegor
