For the correct UBI image layout run the tool "mtdinfo" on your target.
$ ptxdist menuconfig
   Shell & Console Tools --->  
     <*> mtd-utils --->
         [*]   ubi utils  --->
             [*]   mtdinfo

You shouldn't use the NFS root directory as the base of your UBI image. Let 
ptxdist create this image instead. In the latter case ptxdist ensures the 
correct owners and permissions of the files inside the UBI filesystem.

If you are using the old way to create a UBI image, you can find the current 
parameters in the platform menu ("$ ptxdist menuconfig platform" -> image 
creation options).
If the new way to create a UBI image is used, you can find the settings 
in "configs/<your-platform>/config/images/<some-name>.config"

Regards,
Juergen
