[U-Boot-Users] Bad block management in nand write

Hi,
  Im using u-boot 1.1.4.

  Regarding bad blocks - Suppose the nand device already contains bad blocks.
  Does u-boot take care of it. It skips the block and writes to the next block?.

 I went through the nand_write_ecc routines. i cannot see that u-boot
checks if a block is bad/not.


Im using write.jffs2 - nand write.jffs2 to write the file system.

What i see is when the kernel boots up - it throws a list of messages
saying bad blocks found.

But i see im missing some files.

Regards,
sriram
