Is there a similar tool to genext2fs for UBIFS? I would like to create a root file system containing special files (/dev entries) without being root. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Best regards,

Dave.

Hi,

never used genext2fs, but I think there is nothing like this for UBIFS. Would the "device table" work for you (see --devtable mkfs.ubifs option).
