The UBIFS space fixup is a useful feature which allows to fixup the "broken" flash space at the time of the first mount. The "broken" space is usually the result of using a "dumb" industrial flasher which is not able to skip empty NAND pages and just writes all 0xFFs to the empty space, which has grave side-effects for UBIFS when UBIFS trise to write useful data to those empty pages. The fix-up feature works roughly like this: 1. mkfs.ubifs sets the fixup flag in UBIFS superblock when creating the image (see -F option) 2. when the file-system is mounted for the first time, UBIFS notices the fixup flag and re-writes the entire media atomically, which may take really a lot of time. 3. UBIFS clears the fixup flag in the superblock. This works fine when the file system is mounted R/W for the very first time. But it did not really work in the case when we first mount the file-system R/O, and then re-mount R/W. The reason was that we started the fixup procedure too late, which we cannot really do because we have to fixup the space before it starts being used.
