Dear Saul Wold,

In message <71f6cb63e711721a1a03cfc1c0f1d054472241fe.1323554268.git.sgw at linux.intel.com> you wrote:

It's certainly nice to have the ext2 tools then, but would it not also
make a lot of sense to include mtd-utils (so we can erase flash and
create UBI volumes / UBIFS file system images) and eventually even
dosfstools?

Most embedded systems come with NAND these days, and a lot of them use
UBI/UBIFS...

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
