-	  If the MTD device admits of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NAND flash), UBI
-	  reserves some amount of physical eraseblocks to handle new bad
-	  eraseblocks. For example, if a flash physical eraseblock becomes bad,
-	  UBI uses these reserved physical eraseblocks to relocate the bad one.
-	  This option specifies how many physical eraseblocks will be reserved
-	  for bad eraseblock handling (percents of total number of good flash
-	  eraseblocks). If the underlying flash does not admit of bad
-	  eraseblocks (e.g. NOR flash), this value is ignored and nothing is
-	  reserved. Leave the default value if unsure.
+	  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.
+

+	   Important: this feature is experimental so far and the on-flash
+	   format for fastmap may change in the next kernel versions
+
+	   Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
+	   in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
+	   only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
+	   The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
+	   the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
+	   attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
+	   a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI module parameter
+	   fm_autoconvert to 1 if you want so. Please note that fastmap-enabled
+	   images are still usable with UBI implementations without
+	   fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap fits
+	   into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
