FWIW I get acceptable ubifs behaviour if power cut happens in less than
5 seconds after saving a file. For example:
date > /mount/ubifs/foo.txt && sleep 4 && echo CUT POWER *NOW*

On the next boot foo.txt simply doesn't exist.


Everything works fine for power cuts happening after 30 + 5 seconds:
date > /mount/ubifs/bar.txt && sleep 35 && echo CUT POWER *NOW*

On the next boot bar.txt exists and it contains a date.
