-	  This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
-	  expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the underlying
-	  flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR flash), this value
-	  is ignored.
-
-	  NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM (Number of
-	  Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. The maximum
-	  expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks then can be calculated
-	  as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", which gives 20 for most NANDs
-	  (MaxNVB is basically the total count of eraseblocks on the chip).
-
-	  To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to reserve
-	  about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks handling. And that
-	  will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire NAND chip, not just the MTD
-	  partition UBI attaches. This means that if you have, say, a NAND
-	  flash chip admits maximum 40 bad eraseblocks, and it is split on two
-	  MTD partitions of the same size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when
-	  attaching a partition.
-
-	  This option can be overridden by the kernel parameter ubi.mtd and the
-	  ioctl UBI_IOCATT.
-
-	  Leave the default value if unsure.
