Yeah, the thing is that neither UBI volumes nor MTD devices are in
/proc/partitions, just because they are not block devices and they
are not members of the blkock device infrastructure. They form a
completely separate subsystem.

Here are some more data:

There are already 3 FSes which work with MTD: JFFS2, UBIFS and
(out-of-tree)YAFFS2.
