The "automatic recovery" described in that link --
"UBIFS automatically replays its journal and recovers from crashes,
ensuring that the on-flash data structures are consistent."
-- is not present in the u-boot version of ubifs. U-boot currently
supports ubifs only in read-only mode; the recovery code is missing.
