To be honest, I'm still very much in the dark about what I have installed, I'm just trying to find my way round it.

I tried the above commands suggested and got:-


mkdir -p  /tmp/nand/
mount -t ubifs /dev/mtdblock3 /tmp/nand/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mtdblock3,
            missing codepage or helper program, or other error


ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 3
ubiattach: error: cannot attach mtd3
                 error 19 (No such device)

The command is an example when you want to mount mtd3.

And this means you don't have mtd3.

In all *nix systems (Arch, Debian, BSD,...), when in doubt, get help:

ubiattach --help

Quote

ubiattach version 2.0.0 - a tool to attach MTD device to UBI.

Usage: ubiattach [<UBI control device node file name>]
[-m <MTD device number>] [-d <UBI device number>] [-p <path to device>]
[--mtdn=<MTD device number>] [--devn=<UBI device number>]
[--dev-path=<path to device>]
[--max-beb-per1024=<maximum bad block number per 1024 blocks>]
UBI control device defaults to /dev/ubi_ctrl if not supplied.
Example 1: ubiattach -p /dev/mtd0 - attach /dev/mtd0 to UBI
Example 2: ubiattach -m 0 - attach MTD device 0 (mtd0) to UBI
Example 3: ubiattach -m 0 -d 3 - attach MTD device 0 (mtd0) to UBI
and create UBI device number 3 (ubi3)
Example 4: ubiattach -m 1 -b 25 - attach /dev/mtd1 to UBI and reserve
25*C/1024 eraseblocks for bad block handling, where C is the flash
is total flash chip eraseblocks count, that is flash chip size in
eraseblocks (including bad eraseblocks). E.g., if the flash chip
has 4096 PEBs, 100 will be reserved.

-d, --devn=<number> the number to assign to the newly created UBI device
(assigned automatically if this is not specified)
-p, --dev-path=<path> path to MTD device node to attach
-m, --mtdn=<number> MTD device number to attach (alternative method, e.g
if the character device node does not exist)
-O, --vid-hdr-offset VID header offset (do not specify this unless you really
know what you are doing, the default should be optimal)
-b, --max-beb-per1024 maximum expected bad block number per 1024 eraseblock.
The default value is correct for most NAND devices.
Allowed range is 0-768, 0 means the default kernel value.
-h, --help print help message
-V, --version print program version

To list the mtds

cat /proc/mtd

After running pacman -Syy a few days ago I'm now unable ti install anything! Everything I try ends up with 'keyring signature ..... is unknown trust'

I've gone round is circle for a couple of hours trying to remove /etc/pacman.d/gnupg and re-install keys but haven't stumbled on the correct solution yet. Wondered if you might have any advice....

dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 0010000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1 0ff00000 00020000 "rootfs"

Still not sure how to mount these...

Try:

mkdir -p  /tmp/nand_rootfs
mount -t ubi0:rootfs /dev/mtdblock1 /tmp/nand_rootfs

mount: unknown filesystem type 'ubi0:rootfs'

I tried all the options I could find for ubiattach but couldn't get anything to work.

Seems like I'm not the only one having these sort of problems...

Running:-
pacman-key --ini
pacman-key --populate archlinuxarm

fixed things today - it didn't work yesterday.
