unable to attach ubi to mtd partition

We are using MT29F8G08ABABA in our DM365 based custom board. We are using NAND boot. RootFS is in UBIFS format,

Below is basic achitecture of the NAND. enter image description here

I am using following commands to create ubifs,

$(UBIFS_PATH)/mkfs.ubifs -r  $(TARGET_FS) -m 4096  -e 520192 -c 75 -o ubifs.img
$(UBIFS_PATH)/ubinize -o $(SYSTEM_CFG)_$(HARDWARE_CFG)_ubifs -m 4096 -p 512KiB $(HARDWARE_CFG)_ubinize.cfg

dm368_ubinize.cfg content is as follows,

[ubifs]
mode=ubi
image=ubifs.img
vol_id=0
vol_size=37888KiB
vol_type=dynamic
vol_name=rootfs
vol_flags=autoresize

Then i put this ubifs to NAND using following commands,

loady 0x82000000 ---> ubifs is loaded to RAM
nand scrub 0x1800000 0x2800000
nand erase 0x1800000 0x2800000
nand write 0x82000000 0x1800000 0x2800000

and when i boot the kernel there is error while detecting UBIFS from kernel,

Below is kernel log for the same,

Now my doubt is why kernel is reporting physical eraseblock size as 256KiB? from architecture of NAND it looks to be 512KiB.

Any suggestions/pointer for the errors ?

Thank you in advance

As i have mentioned in above answer, I was not able to create a file or folder because filesystem size and partitions size was same.
So i increased the partition size to 128MB(nand_partition in kernel) and i recreated the UBIFS. I flashed the new kernel and UBIFS in NAND. And it started working, now i am able to create folder and/or file anywhere in the root file system.

I used below commands to create ubifs,

$(UBIFS_PATH)/mkfs.ubifs -r  $(TARGET_FS) -m 2048 -e 258048 -c 506 -o ubifs.img
$(UBIFS_PATH)/ubinize -o $(SYSTEM_CFG)_$(HARDWARE_CFG)_ubifs -m 2048 -p 256KiB -O 2048  $(HARDWARE_CFG)_ubinize.cfg

content of ubinize.cfg is as follows,

[ubifs]
peb=0x40000
min_io_size=0x800
compress_type=zlib
mode=ubi
image=ubifs.img
vol_id=0
vol_size=124MiB
vol_type=dynamic
vol_name=rootfs
vol_flags=autoresize

Some calculations which will help understand

For 256Kib and pagesize 2048

Symbol  Meaning     Value for 128MB fs
SP  PEB Size    256KiB
SL  LEB Size    256kib - 2* 2kiB = 252Kib
P   Total number of PEBs on the MTD device  128MiB / 256KiB = 512
B   Number of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling    1% of P = 5
O   The overhead related to storing EC and VID headers in bytes, i.e. O = SP - SL   4KiB 

UBI Overhead = (B + 4) * SP + O * (P - B - 4) 
      = (5 + 4) * 256Kib + 4 KiB * (512 - 5 - 4)
      = 2304Kib + 2012Kib
      = 4316 KiB 
      = 16.859375 PEBs (round to 17)
512 - 17 = 498 peb = 498*256kiB PEBS = 127488KiB availble for user data
we have to use -c <X> where x = 127488Kib / 252kib = 505.9 = 506

Hope this helps someone facing the similar issue.

PEB size (physical erase block) I think needs configuring as part of the ubinize config file, try adding something like this to the file:

[flash]
peb=0x20000
min_io_size=0x800
compress_type=zlib

(I've got a PEB size of 128KiB, so you'll need to change accordingly). Also you might find UBIFS MTD pages useful - there's a question about bad VID header offset. Hope this helps.
