+What: /sys/class/ubi/
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
+Description:
+ The ubi/ class sub-directory belongs to the UBI subsystem and
+ provides general UBI information, per-UBI device information
+ and per-UBI volume information.
+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/version
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
+Description:
+ This file contains version of the latest supported UBI on-media
+ format. Currently it is 1, and there is no plan to change this.
+ However, if in the future UBI needs on-flash format changes
+ which cannot be done in a compatible manner, a new format
+ version will be added. So this is a mechanism for possible
+ future backward-compatible (but forward-incompatible)
+ improvements.

+ device may have many UBI volumes)

+ Number of the underlying MTD device.
+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/reserved_for_bad
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
+Description:
+ Number of physical eraseblocks reserved for bad block handling.
+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/total_eraseblocks
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
+Description:
+ Total number of good (not marked as bad) physical eraseblocks on
+ the underlying MTD device.
+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/volumes_count
+Date: July 2006

+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/ubiX_Y/
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>

+ etc directories describe UBI volumes on UBI device X (volumes
+ 0, 1, etc).

+Description:
+ Volume alignment - the value the logical eraseblock size of
+ this volume has to be aligned on. For example, 2048 means that
+ logical eraseblock size is multiple of 2048. In other words,
+ volume logical eraseblock size is UBI device logical eraseblock
+ size aligned to the alignment value.

+ only for static volumes, and for dynamic volume it equivalent
+ to the total volume size in bytes.
+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/ubiX_Y/dev
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>

+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/ubiX_Y/reserved_ebs
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>

+ Equivalent to the volume size in logical eraseblocks.
+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/ubiX_Y/type
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
+Description:

+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
+Description:
+ Contains ASCII "0\n" if the update marker is not set for this
+ volume, and "1\n" if it is set. The update marker is set when
+ volume update starts, and cleaned when it ends. So the presence
+ of the update marker indicates that the volume is being updated
+ at the moment of the update was interrupted. The later may be
+ checked using the "corrupted" sysfs file.
+
+What: /sys/class/ubi/ubiX/ubiX_Y/usable_eb_size
+Date: July 2006
+KernelVersion: 2.6.22
+Contact: Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind@infradead.org>
+Description:
+ Logical eraseblock size of this volume. Equivalent to logical
+ eraseblock size of the device aligned on the volume alignment
+ value.
