Hello,
I am using a custom board based on the BeagleBoneBlack, but using NAND instead of eMMC. Linux kernel is 3.12. I am having some problems using UBIFS. We would like to use a UBIFS partition to store some of our application specific log files.
In Linux, I can create a UBIFS partition fine following http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/UBIFS_Support#Mounting_a_NAND_partition_using_UBIFS as follows:
root@beaglebone:~# ubiformat /dev/mtd10 -s 2048 -O 2048
ubiformat: mtd10 (nand), size 8388608 bytes (8.0 MiB), 64 eraseblocks of 131072 bytes (128.0 KiB), min. I/O size 2048 bytes
libscan: scanning eraseblock 63 -- 100 % complete
ubiformat: 64 eraseblocks have valid erase counter, mean value is 0
ubiformat: formatting eraseblock 63 -- 100 % complete
root@beaglebone:~# ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 10 -O 2048
UBI device number 0, total 64 LEBs (8126464 bytes, 7.8 MiB), available 38 LEBs (4825088 bytes, 4.6 MiB), LEB size 126976 bytes (124.0 KiB)
root@beaglebone:~# ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubifs_volume -m
Set volume size to 4825088
Volume ID 0, size 38 LEBs (4825088 bytes, 4.6 MiB), LEB size 126976 bytes (124.0 KiB), dynamic, name "ubifs_volume", alignment 1
root@beaglebone:~# mount -t ubifs ubi0:ubifs_volume /mnt/test
root@beaglebone:~# echo hello>/mnt/test/hello.txt
root@beaglebone:~# cat /mnt/test/hello.txt
hello
Now if I reboot the system and reattach the UBIFS, my file is still there, data in tact:
root@beaglebone:~# ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 10 -O 2048
UBI device number 0, total 64 LEBs (8126464 bytes, 7.8 MiB), available 0 LEBs (0 bytes), LEB size 126976 bytes (124.0 KiB)
root@beaglebone:~# mount -t ubifs ubi0:ubifs_volume /mnt/test
root@beaglebone:~# cat /mnt/test/hello.txt
hello
Everything looks great at this point. I would now like to have this partition mounted automatically at system boot, which is where I am having problems. Here is my /etc/fstab, where I have added the last line to automount my UBIFS:
root@beaglebone:~# cat /etc/fstab
rootfs / auto defaults 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
ubi0:ubifs_volume /mnt/test ubifs defaults,noatime,rw 0 0
Now when I boot my system, it comes up in emergency mode, and the following errors are printed
UBIFS error (pid 92): ubifs_mount: cannot open "ubi0:ubifs_volume", error -19
Anyone have any idea of what I am missing here? Everywhere I have searched for on the way seems to do it this way, seems pretty straightforward but I just cant get it to work. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, thank you! - Anthony
Hi Anthony,
If "fstab" not works then try to use "scripting" or add the lines of code which is used to mount, in init starting scripts for auto mounting.
Ex:
etc/rc5.d/S99rmnologin --> linked to --> init.d/rmnologin
Add the below lines in end of the file "S99rmnologin" or "rmnologin"
ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 10 -O 2048 mount -t ubifs ubi0:ubifs_volume /mnt/test
Are you getting my point ?
Hi Anthony,
I agree with the Titus, because in a fstab file missing "ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 10 -O 2048" line. Try by explained way.

In addition to that, have a try by adding the following line in fstab file.
/dev/ubi0_0 /mnt/test ubifs defaults,noatime,rw 0 0
