How does it co-exists with ufifs? Does it share the same /dev node or
attached UBI uses another device? (I have no UBI to test it.)

Note that by default libblkid does not support scenario where on the
same device is more superblock - in this case extra care is necessary

It seems (according to ubifs prober code) that ubifs is on another
device node.

It would be nice to have lsblk output with mounted ubifs.

 Rafał, see also tests/ts/blkid/images-fs/ and tests/expected/blkid/.
 
 It would by nice to have small image with UBI superblock and expected
 output from "blkid -p -o udev <device>". It seems dd(1) the begin of
 the device  would be good enough.
