UBI serves two purposes, tracking <a href="/wiki/NAND_flash" class="mw-redirect" title="NAND flash">NAND flash memory</a> bad blocks and providing <a href="/wiki/Wear_leveling" title="Wear leveling">wear leveling</a>. Wear leveling spreads the erases and writes across the entire flash device. UBI presents logical erase blocks to higher layers and maps these to physical erase blocks. UBI was written specifically for UBIFS so that UBIFS does not have to deal with wear leveling and bad blocks. However, UBI may also be useful with <a href="/wiki/Squashfs" class="mw-redirect" title="Squashfs">squashfs</a> and NAND flash; <a href="/wiki/Squashfs" class="mw-redirect" title="Squashfs">squashfs</a> is not aware of NAND flash bad blocks. </p><p>UBI's documentation explains that it is not a complete <a href="/wiki/Flash_translation_layer" class="mw-redirect" title="Flash translation layer">flash translation layer</a> (FTL). Although a FTL also handles bad blocks and wear leveling, the interface a FTL provides is a block device with small (typically 512 bytes) sectors that can be written completely independently. In contrast, UBI's interface directly exposes erase blocks and programmable pages (which are different sizes, and much larger than typical block device sectors), and filesystems that use UBI must be aware of the sizes and restrictions on how blocks must be erased before being written. </p><p>UBI is in some ways analogous to a <a href="/wiki/Logical_Volume_Manager" class="mw-redirect" title="Logical Volume Manager">Logical Volume Manager</a>. In typical usage, rather than partitioning flash into fixed regions, a single UBI device spans the entire flash (except for perhaps a few pages in fixed locations reserved for the bootloader), and multiple volumes are created within the UBI device. This allows wear-leveling to be spread across the whole flash, even if some volumes are written more frequently than others. UBI volumes can be <i>static</i> (which contain a whole file or image written once and protected by CRC-32 by UBI) or <i>dynamic</i> (which contain a read-write filesystem that is responsible for its own data integrity). The only filesystem that directly supports UBI is UBIFS, but using <code>gluebi</code> it's possible to emulate a MTD device, which can then be used to run other flash filesystems like JFFS2 and YAFFS, and using <code>ubiblk</code> it's possible to emulate block devices, which can run common filesystems like Ext4. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fastmap">Fastmap</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=UBIFS&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Fastmap"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>UBI was augmented in Linux 3.7 with fastmap support.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Fastmap maintains an on-disk version of information previously created in memory by scanning the entire flash device.
