 <h2><a name="L_mount_ubifs">How to mount UBIFS?</a></h2>
 
-<p>UBIFS mounts UBI volumes, not UBI devices, not MTD devices. There are no
-block device nodes corresponding to UBI volumes and UBIFS uses device-less

+<p>The modern way of mounting UBIFS is mounting UBI volume character device

+$ mount -t ubifs /dev/ubi0_0 /mnt/ubifs

+<p>will mount UBIFS to UBI volume 0 on UBI device 0. This is the easiest way to
+mount UBIFS, but it is supported only in kernels starting from version
+<code>2.6.32</code>. The UBIFS back-port trees (see
