We are using ubi and ubifs here and I tried it today after migration to
ptxdist 2014.06.0. It does not work yet, I get a kernel panic after a
factory reset with a new image. Digging deeper into this needs time I do
not have at the moment. I'll have a look later if you don't mind.

I noticed some settings are not needed anymore. It's actually a little
easier, thanks for that.
