What exactly are we gaining from this naming compared to the default? In what way the old naming affects the end user? Regards, Vikram

The reason I needed this change is so that I could specify the volume by number in a script instead of being forced to know the name. In Linux you can use the volume number using the format above (it's the same code). -Joe

I believe that is incorrect. <vol name> is literally the name that can be used in the form "ubiX:<vol name>". It doesn't make sense to use the above forms when creating the volume. The ubi index is already set by calling ubi part <mtd partition>. The volume index is simply the next volume in that ubi. > and the prefix "ubi:" will be appended in the environment which is expected > by kernel for mounting. Right? I assume you meant prepended. Please expand on what you are saying here. What environment variable? Prepended by what / who? Yes, the kernel command line expects a full name in one of the 4 forms above. -Joe

This sequence of commands isn't wrong.

This makes the ubifsmount command take the same form as the kernel command line does. This patch has nothing to do with the ubi createvol command. -Joe

UBI can mount volumes by name or number The current code forces you to name the volume by prepending every name with "ubi:". From fs/ubifs/super.c * There are several ways to specify UBI volumes when mounting UBIFS: * o ubiX_Y - UBI device number X, volume Y; * o ubiY - UBI device number 0, volume Y; * o ubiX:NAME - mount UBI device X, volume with name NAME; * o ubi:NAME - mount UBI device 0, volume with name NAME. Now any name passed in any of the above forms are allowed. Also update the configs that referenced ubifsmount.
