HI,
After power short u-boot fails to mount UBIFS and board stuck. Below is a
trace of u-boot

Marvell>> boot

UBI: mtd1 is detached from ubi0

UBIFS: recovery needed

Error reading superblock on volume 'ubi:rootfs'!

UBIFS not mounted, use ubifs mount to mount volume first!

UBIFS not mounted, use ubifs mount to mount volume first!

Wrong Image Format for bootm command

ERROR: can't get kernel image!

To recover from this situation I boot from USB stick and simply mounts the
same UBIFS partition:

root at debian:~# mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs /mnt
[  306.205029] UBIFS: recovery needed
[  309.341987] UBIFS: recovery completed
[  309.345705] UBIFS: mounted UBI device 0, volume 0, name "rootfs"

[  309.359789] UBIFS: journal size:       25804800 bytes (25200 KiB, 24
MiB, 200 LEBs)
[  309.367495] UBIFS: media format:       w4/r0 (latest is w4/r0)
[  309.373352] UBIFS: default compressor: lzo
[  309.377479] UBIFS: reserved for root:  4952683 bytes (4836 KiB)

As you can see mount manage to recover partition.
Is where any way to make u-boot to recover UBIFS partition as well?
What else can I do to make my system stable and survive power shorts?

Thanks.
