via ioctl. I suppose that this is something which would be needed prior to
mount. Having more up to date definitions would seem better....as raw nand
doesn't seem to be well supported except with jffs2 & possibly yaffs I don't
suppose the NAND_NOOB is such a concern.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=871364017-24072003>While trying to
resolve what the OOB data layout should be I see that the kernel headers as of
8-10-2002 have changed such that both the NAND_JFFS2 and NAND_NOOB use
position 5 for bad block data. The u-boot headers do not reflect this
change...doesn't this mean u-boot will be incompatible with more recent
kernels? Should u-boot's headers be updated here?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
