I'm booting my MX50 RD3 EVK from u-boot, kernel, and UBIFS ROOTFS held in NAND FLASH.
Upon first boot after the NAND FLASH is programmed using the FS MfgTool, I see it mount without any problems:
...
UBI: attaching mtd2 to ubi0
UBI: physical eraseblock size: 131072 bytes (128 KiB)
UBI: logical eraseblock size: 126976 bytes
UBI: smallest flash I/O unit: 2048
UBI: VID header offset: 2048 (aligned 2048)
UBI: data offset: 4096
UBI: volume 0 ("rootfs") re-sized from 1652 to 1858 LEBs
UBI: attached mtd2 to ubi0

UBI: number of good PEBs: 1880
UBI: number of bad PEBs: 0
UBI: max. allowed volumes: 128
UBI: wear-leveling threshold: 4096
UBI: number of internal volumes: 1
UBI: number of user volumes: 1

UBI: number of PEBs reserved for bad PEB handling: 18
UBI: max/mean erase counter: 1/0

UBIFS: mounted UBI device 0, volume 0, name "rootfs"
UBIFS: file system size: 234524672 bytes (229028 KiB, 223 MiB, 1847 LEBs)
UBIFS: journal size: 9023488 bytes (8812 KiB, 8 MiB, 72 LEBs)
UBIFS: media format: w4/r0 (latest is w4/r0)
UBIFS: default compressor: none
UBIFS: reserved for root: 0 bytes (0 KiB)
...
However, if I then type poweroff, the board reboots automatically and I typically see this:

VFS: Cannot open root device "ubi0:rootfs" or unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
1f00 16384 mtdblock0 (driver?)
1f01 5120 mtdblock1 (driver?)
1f02 240640 mtdblock2 (driver?)
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
...
any idea why the RootFS is only mount-able the first time?
Thanks,
