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 curren=
t =

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
